Home safety

Your living room is usually where you spend most of your day. That’s why it's essential to make sure it's a safe space to move around freely. Our guidance helps prevent falls and ensure your comfort.

Do you have casters under chairs which makes them likely to slide as you get up?

Casters make furniture easier to move but can cause a problem if they slide back just as you are getting up. Either remove the casters or fit cup shaped carpet savers underneath.

Can you get in and out of your chair safely?

If your chair is too high or too low it may need adjusting to make it easier to get in and out of.

Do you have other chairs in your house which are a better height for you? Get someone to swap them over for you.

Do you have to lean or reach to open windows or curtains because furniture is in the way?

Ask someone to help you re-arrange the furniture so that your windows are more accessible
