1. Make your home safer: Adding grab bars, non-slip mats, and better lighting can help prevent falls and other accidents around the house.

2. Stay active: Regular exercise can help increase strength, balance, and flexibility, helping you move around the house with ease.

3. Maintain a healthy diet: A healthy diet can help you maintain optimal physical and cognitive health, enabling you to remain independent for longer.

4. Utilize technology: Smart home devices, medical alert systems, and personal emergency response systems (PERS) can help you remain connected and safe.

5. Seek help: Don’t hesitate to seek help from your healthcare provider, occupational therapist, social services family, or friends if you need it.

6.  Look at getting home help in for an hour or two once a week, to relieve you of the burden of some of your chores.
