As the individuals navigate challenges such as memory loss, disorientation, and diminished capacity to care for themselves, they require environment designed to support their unique needs.
PREVENT FALL
It has been found fall as the second leading cause leading cause of unintentional injury, with seniors being the most affected. Providing good lightning, slip-resistance floor, grab bars, and frequent monitoring are essential for fall prevention.
QUALITY OF LIFE
