The safety facilities in the renovation for the elderly mainly include the following aspects:
Anti-slip and anti-fall: For the elderly, slippery or uneven ground may lead to falls, so anti-slip measures such as anti-slip mats and anti-slip floor tiles should be used in the renovation for the elderly, and handrails can also be installed in areas such as toilets so that the elderly can support their bodies. In addition, the design of the staircase should also take into account the walking habits of the elderly, so as to avoid large height differences or too steep steps.
Fire and gas leakage: The elderly have weak response ability and ability to cope with emergencies, so safety issues such as fire and gas leakage should be considered in the renovation for the elderly. Equipment such as smoke alarms, gas alarms, etc., should be installed, and inspected and maintained regularly. In addition, fire equipment in areas such as kitchens should choose safe and reliable products and follow the instructions for use.
Renovation of living space: In the renovation for the elderly, the living space can be transformed to better meet the living needs and safety needs of the elderly. For example, you can adjust the position of furniture, increase storage space, etc., and also install handrails on walls and add toilets in the bathroom. These modifications should be tailored to the physical condition and needs of the elderly to improve their quality of life and safety.
Installation of safe escalators: For the elderly, escalators are a very practical device that can help them go up and down stairs easily. However, escalators also have certain safety risks. Therefore, the installation of safety escalators should be taken into account in the aging transformation. You should choose a safe and reliable product, and install and use it according to the instructions. At the same time, the elderly also need to receive guidance and education on the correct way to use it.
In short, the issue of safety facilities in age-appropriate renovation is very important, and should be customized and implemented according to the physical condition and needs of the elderly. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to regular inspection and maintenance to ensure its normal operation and continue to improve the quality of life of the elderly.
