Safety in Living Areas

  • Arrange furniture and other objects so they are not in the way
  • Couches and chairs at proper height to get into and out of easily
  • Use strong chairs with armrests that will provide support during transfers
  • Move low-lying objects (coffee tables, step stools, etc.) that may present a tripping hazard
  • Position telephones so they are accessible
