Retirement accommodation: our advice on how to easily fit out your home


To ensure the safety of your home, it's essential to assess the rooms and situations at risk. A few small changes can make all the difference. To guarantee mobility, it's important to clear the way by removing or relocating carpets, rearranging furniture, ensuring lighting in all space of the home, rearranging and relocating light switches, and moving cupboards to a higher level for easier access. The aim of all these measures is to avoid the risk of falls. Technical aids can also be installed, such as handrails on staircases, or wall-mounted grab bars in bathrooms and washrooms. You can also equip your loved one with a teleassistance system to reassure them and keep them informed in the event of the slightest fall. Retirement accommodation.

Retirement accommodation: how to avoid moving?


After all these non-exhaustive tips for easily adapting a loved one's home, when the loss of autonomy becomes significant, it may well be that this is not enough to guarantee the person's safety at home. For example, if your loved one has a medical condition that prevents him or her from climbing stairs to get to his or her bedroom, or if your loved one has muscular problems that prevent him or her from stepping over the bathtub, specific work may be required to facilitate certain tasks in daily life. The installation of a stair lift, for example, would enable your loved one to sit on a chair, installed along a rail for straight or curved staircases to simplify stair climbing. Replacing the bathtub with a safety shower is also a possibility, to reduce the risk of falls in bathrooms currently equipped with a bathtub. Feeling good at home also means having a home fitted out to the taste of the tenant or owner. Companies work on product design with dedicated teams, making home furnishings more personalized in the eyes of the senior citizen. Retirement accommodation.
