Staying in Place enjoyed spending the morning with 75+ seniors at the recent Lafayette Older Adults Program meeting (L.O.A.P.)! Before the BINGO festivities began, a local Chesterfield police officer shared information about common scams that target our community and how to avoid them.

We’re honored to support this program alongside the cities of Ballwin, Chesterfield, Ellisville, Manchester, Wildwood, Wi******er, and the Parkway and Rockwood School Districts.

April Showers bring Shower Safety Tips for Seniors

To make showers safer for elderly individuals, consider these essential tips:

1️⃣ Address Slippery Surfaces:

Use non-slip mats or adhesive strips inside the shower and bathtub.

Choose textured or non-slip tiles for the bathroom floor.

Apply non-slip coatings or sealants to existing tiles.

2️⃣ Install Safety Features:

Add grab bars for extra stability.

Consider a shower chair or bench for sitting during showers.

Use a hand-held showerhead for easier cleaning.

Install a low-threshold or walk-in shower to prevent tripping.

3️⃣ Optimize Lighting & Accessibility:

Ensure good lighting around the shower area.

Keep towels and toiletries within easy reach.

Clear clutter from the bathroom to reduce the risk of falls.

4️⃣ Other Important Tips:

Check water temperature to avoid burns.

Regularly clean the bathroom to remove slippery soap scum.

Opt for safety glass or plastic for shower enclosures.

💡 Make sure your bathroom is safe, accessible, and comfortable for seniors this April. 🌧️

Using hospice care? You don't have to go it alone.

Hospice and palliative care offer essential support, but there are significant gaps between visits when care is not present.

Managing daily life and responsibilities is challenging enough, especially when a loved one is ill. Staying In Place is here to bridge those gaps and offer supplemental support to both your loved one and your family. Whether it’s helping with laundry, tidying up the house, running errands, or simply sitting at the bedside holding a hand, we’re here in whatever way you need us.
