POSTED BY CONTRIBUTING AUTHOR

If you find that you are struggling with being at home for various reasons, such as struggling to get in or out of bed, moving around your home, or medication management, this guide can help you. It can be overwhelming to realize that you require some extra help with day to day activities, but it can be completely normal yet can make a massive difference to your quality of life.

Hire a carer.

Hiring a carer does not mean that you have to have someone twenty for seven; you could have home care services to help with light household duties once or twice a week could help ease the load. After taking a full assessment of your home from a manager, they will often recommend some technology that could help you and get a care plan in place. The best thing is you can mention your likes and dislikes to ensure they help you to the fullest. Having a carer does not just help you with medication schedules and chores; they can be a friendly face that you can see regularly. If you live alone, this can be a massive comfort to have.

Move items around.

You could get someone to help you move items in your home around to make space and open up the area for you. Having more space to move around can ensure you have a clear pathway to walk to avoid any slips and trips. Arranging furniture in a way that works for your daily routine can help, for example, placing the sofa near the bathroom, so you do not have to walk so far or moving boxes and clutter to the edges of the room, so you do not trip on them.

Technology.

Technology is becoming a massive part of our lives as it is becoming more advanced every day. There are many ways in which technology can help you, such as self vacuuming devices and dishwashers that can clean your dirty plates while making them antibacterial to keep you safe from viruses. Another option is to use a system that can alert a family member or professional when a button is pushed, or a cord is pulled. Keeping a phone or something similar by the side of you can be a contact device if or when you need it to ask for help or assistance. You can call to adjust your carer's plan to use the phone.

Hopefully, using this guide, you will be able to be safe within your home while being able to live daily with ease. It is not just about wearing rubber sole shoes to avoid slipping; it could be down to hiring a carer who can come weekly to assist you with regular duties or help with what medication to take. If you are finding that your home has too many items that make it hard to walk around, allowing your room to look minimal with the main essentials can create lots of space. Installing technical aspects into your home can make a big difference to your habits and making you contactable in emergencies.
