Your parents took care of you when you were growing up, and now you might be in a situation where you have to repay the favor. It is never easy watching your loved ones grow old and sometimes losing a lot of their cognitive ability, and that makes it even more difficult taking care of them.
Just like your parents did for you, you need to keep them safe from situations where they could get hurt. Walking up and down stairs unaided might not be a good option for them, so keeping the stairs closed off might be the safest bet.
Falls in bathrooms are very common, so you should be careful that there aren’t any unnecessary loose rugs and that there is anti-slip material installed in your shower. If possible, having a walk-in shower will make your life a lot easier.
Accidents with a stove can be very harmful, especially if it is a gas stove, so you should get devices that will prevent older ones from using it.
