Everything seems a bit more difficult as we age. Whether it is reaching up to the cabinet, sitting down on a toilet, or simply putting things back into the refrigerator, moving around just don’t seem like what it used to be. According to WebMD, there can be many tweaks around the house to keep seniors and elderly mobile and independent. For example, switching out doorknobs and faucets for lever handles, which makes opening and shutting something that can be done with the whole hand instead of relying on stiff fingers from arthritis. Secondly, a curbless shower can eliminate the need to step over something to get into the shower, and a shower chair along with a handheld shower head can make showering much easier. Lastly, store the more used items like glasses and dishes on lower cabinets, thus the individual does not have to reach up to get the item.
