If you live with a senior, you must take all precautions necessary to minimize hazards and ensure their mental and physical safety. For instance, if you live with a senior who needs a wheelchair, you must ensure that the home has a ramp and that doorways are wide enough to fit the chair. Handlebars may also be necessary to provide support in places like bathrooms. You also need to have proper fire safety measures like a fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and an evacuation plan.
