Practical Tips for the Home

Small adjustments at home can make everyday life safer and more manageable for someone with Parkinson’s:

• Reduce trip hazards by removing loose rugs or clutter
• Use grab rails in key locations (e.g. bathrooms)
• Label cupboards and drawers for easy navigation
• Place important items (like phones or remotes) within easy reach
• Install smoke and gas detectors and consider sensor lighting
• Use pill organisers or medication reminders
• Set up direct debits for bills to reduce stress
• Add large clocks or calendars to support time orientation
• Use chairs with firm arms to aid in sitting and standing
