There is an 80-year-old man at home. What should I pay attention to in decoration?

Parents have worked hard for most of their lives, and their children always want them to have a good old age. Start with the decoration, so that they can have a comfortable residence. Old people have different living habits, so they should pay more attention to safety. How to do it specifically can be started from the following aspects.

First, changing shoes and stools in and out of the house is the first priority. Even if you like to stand at the door and change shoes, the old man can't stand this habit. It is necessary to change the stool for shoes, and you can also rest in the door.

Second, the switch prompts that as the saying goes, "Old people forget things more." If there are too many lights in the house, the old people will forget which one corresponds to which one. Put a conspicuous sticker on the switch and mark it with words, but small details are too convenient.

Third, the bath area is not slippery. The third thing to pay attention to is the bathing area, which is the most prone to danger when taking a bath. It often happens that the hands and feet are inconvenient to take a shower and slip, and the consequences of tripping are very serious. Avoidable dangers should be avoided as much as possible. Put a non-slip mat in the bathing area, and it can be easily done for tens of dollars. Elsewhere in the bathroom, stripes or concave-convex patterns are recommended on the floor, and anti-skid is the key.

In addition to anti-skid in the bathroom, anti-skid in the kitchen is equally important. The kitchen is a heavy oil fume area. Over time, the ground is covered with oil and water, and the floor is not slippery enough, which greatly increases the risk factor. The first is the non-slip floor, the second is the range hood, and then it is often cleaned.

Fourth, besides taking a bath, it may be dangerous to go to the toilet. Handrails are installed on both sides of the toilet, which is convenient for the elderly to grasp. You can also install a smart toilet if you have the conditions at home. You don't have to clean sideways when you go to the toilet, which is also good for your health.

5. Night light, bedside elderly, get up at night to go to the toilet, can't see the road clearly and easily trip. Night lights should be installed in place. The lamp must be installed within reach, and it is best to install an induction nightlight to illuminate from the bedroom to the bathroom.

In addition to these five aspects, the kitchen console should also conform to the height habit, the furniture should be as round as possible, and the floor can be made of elastic wooden floor.
