Creating a Home: Personalizing Your Space in Assisted Living

Transitioning to assisted living doesn't mean giving up the comforts and familiarity of home at least not at Melody Living in Lake in the Hills. We believe that your living space should reflect your personality and preferences, providing a warm and welcoming environment tailored to your needs.

Decoration Safety Tips for Seniors:

1. Keep Cords Tucked Away: Prevent tripping hazards and maintain a clutter-free space by tucking away electrical cords.
2. Choose Non-Slip Flooring: Opt for non-slip rugs or carpeting in high-traffic areas to reduce the risk of slips and falls. Use rug grippers or double-sided tape to secure area rugs and prevent them from sliding.
3. Install Grab Bars: Enhance safety in the bathroom and other areas with grab bars for added support.
4. Avoid Clutter: Keep pathways clear and maintain an accessible living environment by avoiding clutter.
5. Have Proper Lighting: Adequate lighting, especially in hallways and bathrooms, is essential for seniors' safety. Consider motion-sensor lights for added convenience to assist during evening movement.
