You don't need to renovate. A handful of targeted changes remove most of the risk.
Bathroom
- Grab bars by the toilet and in the shower
- Non-slip mat and a shower chair
- A raised toilet seat if standing is hard
Floors and stairs
- Remove or tape down loose rugs
- Clear cords and clutter from walking paths
- Handrails on both sides of stairs; a light at top and bottom
Lighting and reach
- Night lights on the path to the bathroom
- Move daily items to waist height
- A reachable phone in the bedroom and living area
