After working with seniors for over 8 years I can tell you that they would be offended by these terms. Yes we want to keep them safe but they deserve our respect, too. With respect, Amy Linda,

Transitions are definitely hard for older people, and especially if it means leaving their home of many years. It's also hard on the adult children who may have to initiate the move, physically do the moving, set up a new place to live and then clean out their parents' old residence. It's a long and difficult process for all involved in most cases. I will probably write a separate post just on this topic! Thanks for the germ of the idea. :-) Thanks for checking in, Barbara.

These are all fantastic tips to help keep elderly people safe. If they are things that can be installed in their own home, it would probably prolong the time before they may have to enter an assisted living home (which must be extremely difficult for an older person) Hi Linda,
