Although for home decor usually
put forward to the practical tastes or needs, as we encounter with situations
within or nearby mobility difficulties began to think that our home is focused
on the specific requirements of each individual.
In this sense, the home of a
person of the elderly or some type of disability must take into account every
single detail to make daily life easier and why not also less dangerous.
If this is your case or the case
of a close relative we recommend taking a look at these general tips sorted by
areas of the home and implement as many as possible.
- Home: Overall housing must be equipped so as to offer easy access
thanks to ramps, handrails, lifts, wide doors (over 80cm) when using
wheelchairs and wide aisles. Once inside, you should avoid cables on the floor
and pick sliding windows that are easier to handle.
- Bathroom: One of the most important in these cases because it
becomes a danger zone for people with reduced mobility is of the kind. The
space must be light and airy, have non-slip floor, sliding doors, grab bars
next to the shower, the toilet or the sink, sliding doors and preferably a
shower. For safety, it is best that the latch can be opened both inside and
out.
- Kitchen: Must be a spacious and bright, with easy access to all
furniture and appliances and furniture without corners so you can avoid the
most impact.
- Bedroom: Avoid floor lamps and sconces commitment, use light
switches framework to improve visibility, place a sofa beside the bed as a
support and prevents the carpet as it may cause slips and falls.
- Hall: Again avoids the corners on furniture, carpets, floor lamps
and cables on the floor. It is imperative that all your electronics have remote
control and that the phone is easily accessible in an emergency.
