Take it easy while getting up
Get up slowly after sitting or lying down.
Install good lighting
At entrances, in hallways, on stairs, in bathrooms and kitchens and any other areas that require good lighting to navigate safely. Use lamps, night lights and easily accessible flashlights.
Remove the clutter
Including coffee tables, plants, rugs, baskets, magazine racks and additional furniture and other items such as shoes and electrical cords that you can trip over.
Safety in the bathroom
Add grab bars and non-slip surfaces to bathrooms and bathtubs.
Check Sunday newspapers for coupons
Many people shy away from coupons. However, they can be a great source of savings for seniors. Weekly specials and coupons are typically run in Sunday papers.
Get your bread at more reasonable prices
Check your area for a bakery outlet or bakery thrift store for deeply discounted bread, buns and other baked goods.
Always use or freeze leftovers for later
Label food you put in the freezer so you don’t keep them too long or forget what each container holds.
