I. House-wide sliding and prevention of fall (first risk of old habitat)

Falling into the most common accident among the older population, starting with ground, miscellaneous items and shoes:

The floor is as dry as possible, the toilet, the kitchen takes a bath and the chopsticks dry up and the water is on the ground and the soup is cleaned up。

The house must be free of all miscellaneous items: slippers, boxes, wires, benches, carpet corners, and the aisle must be emptied。

The floor should not be too brightly polished; easy-to-sliding positions should be paved with smooth mats, which should be selected with smooth floors to prevent the cushions from tripping。

Home-based shoes should be packed with soft-skinned shoes, with no thin-floored slippers, bare feet, plastic slippers, and no bare feet on floor bricks。

The couch, the bed, is right up and following three steps: sit still for 30 seconds, sit down for 30 seconds, stand steady and then walk, and avoid a low blood pressure head。

The windowsills and the balcony steps are marked and the daily steps are slowed down。

Ii. Employment security elements

It's common knowledge about security in everyday life

To the extent possible, the plugs are equipped with protective covers and wires are collected along the wall and do not cross the aisle。

An interpolated platoon does not plug into large power appliances such as electric kettles, heaters, electromagnetic furnaces, etc。

The wire is ageing and the outer skin is broken and replaced immediately; the pull plug is to be squeezed into the main body and the pull wire is prohibited。

Pre-slept examination of electric thermal blankets, heaters, recharges, preferably when the electric thermal blankets are sleeping; heating equipment is far from curtains, bedding, clothing。

Wet baths do not reach and touch switches and plugs; water on hands does not touch electrical appliances。

Leave home and turn off the power supply。

Iii. Gas safety information

While cooking, people do not go far, and the spilling of soup tends to extinguish the flames, causing gas leaks。

Each time the meal is finished, the gas stove valve is closed; the total gas valve is shut down for long periods of time。

Frequent inspection of hoses, limited life of rubber hoses, rigidity, cracking, ageing and timely replacement, with priority for metal bellows。

It's common knowledge about security in everyday life

It is forbidden to turn on the lights, turn on the plugs, light the fires, ring the bell; immediately open the windows, close the main valve and call for repairs。

The kitchen is ventilated, and closed cooking in winter must leave a gap in the window to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning。

Iv. Aging bathrooms to reduce bath risk

The shower area is paved with a thicker cushion and the floor is smoothed。

The wall is equipped with a strong arm: on both sides of the toilet and next to the shower, you must have a smoother hand and stand up and borrow。

Discarding the glass shower threshold makes it easy to trip older persons and prioritize barrier-free and smooth transitions。

With a bath chair, you can sit and bathe without standing for a long time。

Bathrooms are regularly prepared with dry towels, entering the door to dry the soles of the feet in a timely manner; baths are suitable for temperature and are not too cold or hot; baths are controlled for 15 to 20 minutes to prevent anaerobic dizziness。

The lock uses a formula that can be opened from the outside to prevent the elderly from fainting in the trapped bathroom。

V. Night care (high fall time)

It's common knowledge about security in everyday life

The bedroom leads to the bathroom with a small nightlight on the entire route, with soft and constant light on the bedside, the aisle and the toilet, and without touching the dark light; the light selects the warm light and the light is not ignominy。

Don't pile up any groceries by the bedside. The bedside floor is empty。

Sleep in the night, do not rise up hard, lie down for a while and sit slowly to prevent a lack of blood in the brain。

At night, do not rush and slow down; at night, thirsty and in the bathroom, water cups can be placed on the bed head in advance。

In winter nights, the ground is cold and smooth, and slippers are worn before bed。

If the night is often frequent, it is a physical signal, daily attention is paid to kidneys, prostates, blood pressure problems and periodic medical examinations are conducted。

Vi. Additional home-based reminders

The windows are equipped with limitrs and the gap in opening windows should not be too large; the balcony guard is strong。

Emergency telephone calls are regularly posted on the wall。
