    For making your home more elderly-friendly, consider adding grab bars in key areas like the bathroom and hallways. Non-slip mats in the bathroom and better lighting can also make a big difference. Installing lever-style door handles and adjusting cabinet heights can improve accessibility. Smart home devices like voice-activated assistants can be super helpful, too. Safety and comfort go hand in hand! ๐Ÿ

                I think using motion-sensor lights and securing rugs to the floor can enhance safety. Though, having a medical alert system installed is also a smart idea for peace of mind. ๐Ÿ“ฒ
