Three days until Christmas. You're not going to get everything done—accept that now.
What matters is making sure your elderly loved one can safely participate.
Quick 10-minute safety check:
Clear pathways from entry to seating.
Secure all rugs. Extra lighting in bathrooms and hallways.
Extension cords tucked away.
Step stool put away.
We respond to preventable falls every holiday season. The decorative table blocking the walker path. The throw rug they tripped on. The guest towel covering the grab bar.
Stop decorating. Start preparing. Walk through your space looking for obstacles. Move furniture if needed. Add lighting. Remove tripping hazards.
They can't enjoy Christmas from a hospital bed.
