It may only take a few simple adaptations in the home to make life easier for an older person or someone with vision loss. Changes in vision that come with aging can affect the ability to see clearly and adjust quickly to changes in lighting, possibly affecting balance and the ability to do everyday activities. These brand new videos, created by the AFB Center on Vision Loss for Senior Site® (www.afb.org/seniorsite), contain simple and easy-to-implement suggestions that can benefit all older people, as well as anyone with a visual impairment.
Most falls occur at home, and people with vision loss are almost twice as likely to fall as persons with typical vision. Preventing Falls by Adapting Your Home suggests simple and inexpensive changes that can be made in the home to dramatically lessen the chance of a dangerous fall and enhance an individual’s ability to live independently. The video addresses specific areas of the home, such as the kitchen and the bathroom; household furnishings; lighting; and caring for yourself.
