How to Alter Your Home for a Family Membr Who Just Got Out of the Hospital
Accidents and mishaps happen. It may be a car accident, cancer, polio, an animal attack, a tornado or a fire incident and etc. Yes, things do happen. No one is to blame for these unforeseen and totally uncalled for events in our lives. But we have to be strong. We have to help our loved one to somehow pick up the pieces, glue them back together and start anew. We can do that by altering our home to fit their special needs.
THE FACES OF HOPE
Put up pictures of Jesus and Mary all throughout your home. These representations will portray that there is nothing that cannot be solved by a prayer. Also, create a prayer station for your loved one so that they can meditate and pray to God for a fast recovery.
You can also buy or print out tablets of positive Bible verses and prayers to help her or him to look on the brighter side of the situation. Enable this person to trust God and to believe in His unbreakable promises.
RAILING
Put railings on various walls on your house. These will help them to be mobile. You can also strategically place and arrange big furniture’s simultaneously around your house to help guide them as they walk. Give them something to hold on to. And most importantly be there for them. Be as supportive as you can be.
WHEELS ARE A NO, NO!
Anything with wheels is a no, no. Remove or put away your wheeled office chairs, your kids’ roller-skate, your rolling dessert table and etc. They might hold on to them and slip. Consider this step especially if your loved one has recently gone through an operation and is in a very fragile state.
CARPET, CARPET, CARPET
Do install carpet on your floor. If the person did fall over by accident, the carpet will minimize the pain as opposed to a hard wood floor or a tiled floor.
CCTV
Put up several cameras on parts of your house — especially at the patient\’s room. This way you will have the capability to monitor their movements as you go along with your house chores. Put the monitor TV either inside your room, the kitchen or if you have, your home office.
BUZZER
Attach a buzzer at some parts of the house, and
Again, especially at the patient\’s room. They will have the chance to call you in case of pains, emergencies, potty time or eating time.
PHONE
Put the phone close to where he or she is. This is great if you have to go to work or pick up groceries for a couple of minutes. Remember to put you, 911, the hospital, the fire department and a neighbor’s phone number on speed dial.
THE BIGGER THE BETTER
If this will be a permanent condition, it\’s best to spend a little money to renovate his or her bathroom. The bigger it will be the better. Also, put railings on all the wall angles. This is advisable especially for patients that are in a wheel chair.
H20 ACCESS
Put a bottle of water at several parts of your house. They might get thirsty as they try or practice move along.
Tip: You can also put a bag of tissue paper and high protein snacks at tables or tape them on walls so that they can grab one and snack on them while you\’re gone.
Step up and care for those people that you love that have been burdened by a sickness or an accident. Alter your home to be in the best shape to accommodate their special needs.
