Planning ahead today, to address the safety risks of tomorrow

Often, the business of everyday life can leave little time to think about the future. But if you look ahead now to tomorrow’s home furnishing needs, this can pay dividends in the days far ahead.

For example, you’ll thank those motion-sensor lights and well-lit rooms if your eyesight should ever fade or if your mobility decreases. After all, why strain your eyes to read a favourite book, when you can simply switch to a brighter reading lamp?

There are many small, affordable changes that can help you to enjoy your home as a place of safety and comfort – for many happy years to come.
