Preventive Health and Safety Measures to Have at Home

Preventive Health and Safety Measures to Have at Home

Home should be a safe and happy place for your loved ones. But do you think your house still has a lot of room for improvement to exude a homely vibe? If yes, you should start by hiring a housekeeper and home care service provider in Hawaii to get started. Then, set up health and safety measures in place.

Health

Uphold the overall wellness of your loved ones, especially the elderly, by contacting a healthcare service provider in Hawaii. Then, make the following adjustments:

  • Get rid of any traces of radon, chemicals, and pesticides at home.
  • Clean the house regularly to keep it clutter-free.
  • Make sure the bedroom is conducive to quality sleep.
  • Avail of meal prep services to enjoy healthy and hearty meals always.
  • Help your loved ones develop a healthy daily routine, which should include exercise and relaxation.

Safety

Fall, slip, and trip accidents are common at home, especially if you have kids and elderly people. Make sure your home is a safe zone for them with the following tips:

  • Instead of having bulky, free-standing appliances, opt for wall-mounted ones.
  • Keep pets outside the house.
  • Use overhead storage for more legroom and easier navigability.
  • Install railings and grab bars.
  • Use slip-proof flooring material.
  • Keep the kitchen and bathroom clean and dry.
  • Make sure the house is well illuminated and well-ventilated.

It’s priceless to see the happy smiles of your loved ones as they enjoy the comforts of home. Yes, making home adjustments might take some time and money. But your loved ones are worth it. You can also rely on reliable providers of home care services, such as Helping Hands Hale, to help you create the right vibe for your home.

The state of Hawaii has determined that most caregivers are considered employees and in order to LEGALLY hire and pay your OWN caregiver, you must have a company established with State and Federal tax ID numbers. In addition to their hourly pay you must also pay for Workers Compensation Insurance, Temporary Disability Insurance, General Liability Insurance, and if the caregiver works more than 20 hours per week you must also provide medical insurance for each caregiver. Therefore; choosing an established agency such as Helping Hands Hale is an affordable and easy solution that will save you time, money, and relief from being in violation of State and Federal Labor Laws.
