PBS has recently listed Seven "Life Hacks" which are tips for continuing to live safely in one's own home. The seven tips are:
1. Bed Rails: Install bed rails to help one get into and out of bed.
2. Tub Rails: Install bars to help one get into and out of the shower and bath tubs safely.
3. Zipper Pulls: Attachments on the end of the zipper to help a person independently dress.
4. Safety strips in the tub to prevent slipping.
5. Taping the edges of rugs to prevent tripping and falling.
6. Low-vision keyboard for the computer to help with diminished vision.
7. Motion sensor lighting to help you see when you get up at night.
