We break down how smart lighting reduces falls at home and show fast fixes that make movement safer without turning your space into a runway. From hallways to bathrooms and entryways, we share simple, low-cost changes that boost visibility and confidence.
• poor lighting as a top fall risk
• dark halls and corners as priority fixes
• motion sensor night lights for nighttime routes
• cord management to clear walkways
• light placement that reveals the floor
• bathroom lighting that cuts glare on slick surfaces
• safer entryways when hands are full
• quick checklist to audit your home lighting
If you found this helpful, please share it with a friend or family member who might need a little lighting refresh too
