There are 10 areas to focus on to make the kitchen a safe place for seniors:

  • Fire Safety is first and foremost the very first thing that should be addressed.
  • Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Detectors are necessary tools in your kitchen. Just be sure to check / test them on a regular basis.
  • Modifications to organize the kitchen to decrease clutter, decrease excess mobility and help with fall prevention.
  • Re-arranging cabinets, drawers, pantry and refrigerator to make it easier to reach for things, especially heavy items.
  • Keeping small appliances at easy reach such as waist level on counters or table.
  • Ample Lighting is often overlooked but so important as older adults’ vision tends to decrease.
  • Anti Slip Flooring to help decrease fall risks.
  • Senior Friendly Appliances that are equipped with safety monitors, automatic shut-off devices, alarms and are also easy to use.
  • Maintenance of kitchen equipment is important to keep things running smoothly and minimize possible hazards.
  • Useful Tools and Gadgets that allow older adults to be as independent and safe as possible.
  • Kitchen Chairs are often overlooked as a safety factor for seniors. Many older adults use kitchen chairs with coasters to make it easier to move the chair but these could end up causing an injury.
  • Removing Sharp Objects for homes with seniors who are suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
  • Cooking safety tips for seniors – besides avoiding loose clothing when cooking, we have even more tips on kitchen safety issues concerning cooking
