When a loved one moves into your home, it’s easy to assume everyone else in the family will step in to help. But as today’s guest Jennifer FitzPatrick reminds us, caregiving isn’t one-size-fits-all — and not every sibling or relative is prepared for hands-on support.

In this episode of Caregiver Chats, Dr. Lakelyn and Jennifer unpack the emotional, logistical, and relational realities of bringing an aging parent into your home.

Whether you’re exploring multigenerational living or supporting a loved one from afar, this conversation offers tools to plan with intention.

As temperatures drop, we’re thinking about aging adults in our community. ❄️👇

Winter can be a tough season—icy sidewalks, rising heating costs, and longer nights can leave many feeling isolated and vulnerable. For aging adults, these challenges can feel even more overwhelming.

But it doesn’t have to be.

With the right preparation, our loved ones can navigate the colder months confidently.

Here are a few winter safety tips to get started: ⤵

❄️ Seal in the warmth: Weatherproof doors and windows to keep your home cozy and energy costs low.
❄️ Step confidently: Sturdy shoes with non-slip soles can prevent falls on icy surfaces.
❄️ Stay active indoors: Simple stretches or chair yoga can keep your body moving even when it’s too cold to go outside.
❄️ Be prepared for storms: Stock up on food, water, and medications so you’re ready for anything.

Connection is just as important as preparation. A phone call, visit, or quick check-in can make a big difference for someone navigating the challenges of winter. 💚

As promised, here is the first room of focus in our safety series!

Bedroom Safety

Your bedroom should be a peaceful retreat, but hidden hazards like clutter, poor lighting, or unsafe furniture can turn relaxation into risk. Create a safer space to rest comfortably and confidently with some simple adjustments.

Do throw rugs create a tripping hazard? Is the carpet torn?
Remove throw rugs or use double-sided tape or a rug pad to prevent slips. Fix small carpet tears with glue or staples.

Is the room cluttered with clothing, magazines, or other items? Is there too much furniture for the space?
Take some time to sort through clothing and unused items. Consider adding shelves or storage solutions to keep walkways clear. If you use a cane, walker, or wheelchair, ensure there’s enough room to move around easily and access the bed without obstacles.

Do you have easy access to a phone, especially at night?
A cordless phone, cell phone, or emergency alert system can provide peace of mind. Research medical alert systems for added safety. Ensure all devices are charged regularly.

Is there enough light?
Install nightlights in dark areas and ensure bulbs are bright enough for clear visibility. Motion-sensor nightlights can automatically light the way when movement is detected, reducing the need to fumble for a switch. Rope lighting along hallways and near the floor can also provide continuous illumination, especially for the path between the bedroom and bathroom.

Is the bed too high or too low? Do you have trouble sitting up in bed?
If you sit on the bed and your knees are above your hips, consider raising the bed’s height with bed risers. If your feet don’t touch the floor when sitting on the edge, lowering the bed by removing the frame or using a low-profile mattress or box spring can help. If you have trouble sitting up in bed, bed rails that slip under the mattress can provide extra leverage and support.

Do tangled electrical cords obstruct pathways?
Use extension cords to route wires behind furniture, reposition furniture near outlets, or invest in a power strip to reduce clutter.

Does the furniture provide proper support if needed?
Make sure your chairs are the right height so your feet touch the floor and have sturdy legs and arms for support. This provides a stable and secure spot to sit, especially when getting dressed.
