Aging in Place Safely: Rugitall's Non-Slip Solution for Your Home!

Ⅰ.Introduction

What’s Aging in Place?

The National Institute on Aging has released a report discussing a new aging trend called "aging in place," which refers to older individuals staying in their own homes as they age.  It refers to the idea of allowing individuals to age gracefully in their own homes, rather than in assisted living facilities or nursing homes.

This trend has gained traction due to a variety of factors, including the desire for independence, the high costs of long-term care facilities, and the preference for familiar surroundings. According to research, over 90% of seniors want to remain in their homes for as long as possible. However, aging in place requires a supportive home environment that is safe and secure. As the population ages, the importance of creating safe and supportive home environments for the elderly will only continue to grow.

Security Risks of Growing Older at Home

As people age, their physical abilities decline, making them more susceptible to slips and trips. For the elderly, even a minor fall can have serious consequences, such as fractures, head injuries, and other serious injuries that can lead to disability or even death.

With the growing trend of aging in place, it's important to understand the security risks of growing older at home. For instance, the bathroom is one of the most dangerous places in the house, with water and slippery surfaces making it easy for older adults to fall. Uneven or cluttered floors and poor lighting can also increase the risk of slips and trips. The risks are not limited to the inside of the home either; outdoor hazards such as stairs, uneven pavement, and curbs can also pose a danger. It's important to be aware of these risks and take steps to create a safe environment for you if you have a desire to age in place.

Ⅱ.Slice of Life

Bathroom Thriller

An elderly man, let’s call him Mr. Johnson, had just finished taking a shower in his bathroom. As he was wrapping his towel around himself and preparing to step out of the shower, he suddenly slipped on a puddle of water on the floor, lost his balance, and fell hard on the wet tiles.

The impact of his fall caused him to scream in pain, which immediately alerted his wife, Mrs. Johnson, who was in the kitchen at the time. She rushed to the bathroom to check on her husband, but as she stepped onto the wet ground at the entrance, her feet slipped out from under her, and she fell backwards with a thud.

Kitchen Adventure

An elderly woman called Lily was preparing her dinner in the kitchen, washing and cutting vegetables. As she moved towards the fridge to get the salad dressing, she accidentally knocked over a glass of water that was sitting on the counter. The water spilled on the kitchen floor, creating a slippery surface.

As she turned back towards the sink to rinse the vegetables, she didn't notice the puddle of water on the floor and slipped, hitting her head on the counter. Her husband, who was in the study, heard her scream and rushed to the kitchen to help her. But as he entered the living room, he slipped and fell on an area rug that was not properly secured.
