Wondering what home modifications can help your loved one stay safe? Having a walk-in shower with a seat inside. Building a hand rail next to the toilet. Using a stair lift. Purchase a reclining chair.

Ageing parents often need assistance with everyday tasks: preparing meals, managing medications and making health care decisions. Many adult children approach caring for their elderly relative in a way that is perceived as overbearing instead of supportive.

You can do a number of things to help your elderly relative; but one of the most beneficial tasks you can do for them is keeping their living area clean. This is because having clutter on the floor, and having an unhygienic bathroom can be a huge health and safety risk.
