When beloved family members grow older, it’s often necessary for the younger generation to take care of them, even to the extent of inviting them to live in their home.  In order to promote the finest elderly care, there a couple of steps necessary to take if they will be living with you.  You should first make the bathroom more safe; this includes installing shower rails, a bathmat, and a raised toilet seat (depending on circumstances).  You will also want to ensure that your elder can get around the house as easily as possible, so if you have stairs, try to make it more convenient for them to stay in one floor of the home.  It’s also important to keep an eye on your elder’s diet; you will want to promote healthy and nutritious food in the home.

Taking these steps will allow your elder to live in comfort, and also help them to avoid asking the younger members of the household for help.  It’s just as embarrassing for them as it is for the other person when you need help getting out of the shower!
