Avoiding Trip Hazards In Your Home with Brenda Scott

Preventing dangerous trip hazards is crucial for keeping aging loved ones safe in their own homes. In this video, host Angela Brown and guest expert Brenda Scott discuss strategies for avoiding trip hazards in the home. They emphasize the need to minimize clutter and ensure clear pathways, as trip hazards like scatter rugs, cords, and clutter lead to falls and injuries. The conversation also touches on the use of mobility devices, adjusting them for comfort, and the impact of it on independence. In addition, Angela and Brenda discuss the importance of getting rid of unnecessary items, such as empty shipping boxes, to ensure unobstructed passage. This seemingly simple approach makes a world of difference. By avoiding trip hazards, you empower seniors to maintain their independence, confidence, and freedom of movement in their own homes.
