Over the years, the house where we have lived for a long time may no longer meet the needs of its inhabitants. This is the central issue addressed in this episode of Consumer Minute.
The article alerts that household elements that have always worked without problems, such as stairs, bathrooms and circulation areas, can become progressively more difficult to use as people age.
Consumer Minute dedicates this episode to explaining which signs should serve as alerts for homeowners to identify potential accessibility and safety problems in their homes.
Adaptations and modifications are also suggested that can be made to help maintain the residents' autonomy and safety at home, allowing them to continue living independently in their own home.
