During the cold winter months, many of us don’t get out as much. That’s when home accidents are most troubling. It could be a while before someone misses you after a dangerous fall. So, put some safety measures into play so you can stay safe in your home this winter. Check-In with Loved Ones Regularly If you live alone, this is one of the most important things you can do to keep yourself safe. Create a support system of family, friends and neighbors and be sure to check in with them on a regular basis. These are the people who will come looking for you if they haven’t heard from you and can’t reach you. Call, text, PM… do something to say, “hey.” Get an Alert System Having an alert system in your home could actually save your life. If you fall, smell smoke or have some other type of home emergency, help is just a click away. Knowing all you have to do is click on a button for immediate assistance should ease your mind this winter. This is a great way to stay safe your home, especially for the elderly and people with mobility issues. Make Your Bathroom Safe Bathrooms are very common areas for home accidents, slips and falls.
