6/4/25, 10:24 AM FDF launches ‘Safe Home Preparation Guide’ for senior citizens - Emirati Times
family members remotely, smart medication organizers that remind them of their
medication schedules, and voice assistants that allow for easy lighting control or
assistance requests.
HE Al Ali emphasized the need to provide a safe home environment for senior
citizens, starting with simple yet important details, and highlighted the importance
of sufficient lighting in corridors and bathrooms to reduce the risk of falls, as senior
citizens require clearer vision. Proper lighting makes a significant difference to their
safety.
The FDF Director further stressed the significance of support handles in bathrooms
to assist with standing and moving, as these are the most common sites for
household accidents. Simple changes can mitigate major risks.
