Suitable clothing and footwear for the elderly:
· Wear light clothing that fits
· Wear pants of acceptable length
· Do not wear slippers or sandals when going out
· Make sure the soles of any shoes you purchase are non-slippery
Taking objects from height
Do not stand on a foldable stool to get objects from height. When storing objects, those that are frequently used should be kept on the middle shelf for easy access. Rarely used objects that are heavy or light should be put on the lower and upper shelves respectively.
