For elders dealing with slippery floors, effective non-slip solutions include installing non-slip mats or rugs, using adhesive strips or decals designed for traction, applying non-slip coatings to the floor surface, and ensuring proper footwear with rubber soles for better grip. Additionally, keeping floors dry and clutter-free can significantly reduce the risk of slips and falls.
