The month of May is dedi -
cated to the Senior Citizens of
our State. They are a very spe
cial part of our country, our
state, and our communities.
They are important people to
all of us. Therefore, we want
them to avoid accidents and be
able to enjoy life to the fullest.
The human body seems to
know it no longer needs to hur
ry, so it slows down a little,too.
ft no longer needs the bouncy
"rubber ball" quality of youth.
That's why muscles and bones
get tight and brittle. When
bones break in later years they
take longer to mend.,,. That's
why it makes good sense to
avoid needless falls.
Studies show that 85 percent
of the fatal accidents occur in
the home. Many of these are
accidents by older persons. Pro
tection is really the key to pre
vention of accidents among the
older-age group. This implies
setting up a hazard-free environ
ment as far as possible.
Make a check of the house
and see what can be done now
to prevent a broken bone o r
some bodily injury. Here are
some points to check very care
fully!. .
Stairways should be wj» 11-
lighted and kept free of toys
and other objectsi.rtair
should be secure and not t oo* -
heavily waxed. A carpet on tire
stairs is an excellent safety fea
ture. There should be a good
sturdy handrail and also easily
accessible light switches at the
top and bottom. Small night
lights along the stain will give
an extra light where it is needed.
Check the floon of the entire
house. They should be in good

repair and not waxed to the ex
tent of being slippery. Wall-to
wall carpet is really safer than
- waxed floors. Scatter can
be very dangerous. Rug pads or
a good skid-proof backing slould
be used on all scatter rugs.
In the bathroom many acci
dents have happened. There
should be good light with con
venient switches. A grab baron
the wall above the tub or in the
. shower is a very important fea
ture. Also, a rubber mat is
, needed in the tub and shower.
In other areas of the house,
be sure there are no light cords
stretched across the floor, ft’s
no fun to trip over a cord and it

is also very dangerous.
Be sure to keep all water or
grease off the kitchen floor. If
something is spilled, mop it up
as quickly as possible.
Another place which needs
special attention is at the out
side steps. A handrail is needed
at the steps in order to make go
ing in and out of the house easi
er and safer. These may be of
wood or iron. Be sure they are
strong and secure.
Check the house -and see just
how safe it really is foe older
people as well as younger peo
ple. The best time to avo'd ac
cidents is before it happens.
