The living room is important, mostly because it's where we tend to
spend a large part of our day when we're inside. To keep it a safe
place for you, consider these tips:

Arrange the furniture to give yourself enough room to move around and
between pieces. Plan a route through the house that will always give
you something to hold onto in case you lose your balance
Try chairs with a straight back, armrests, and a firm seat to make
getting up easier. You can even add a firm cushion to get the height
that's right for you
Install handrails on all staircases, especially outside. Consider
adding other railings in hallways or other areas where you don't have
something to hold onto
Buy a device that adapts the small buttons of a standard phone to huge
push buttons. It can make dialing a lot easier
