What to prioritize first
If you can only do one thing, replace a heavy or sticking entry door with a lighter, well-balanced door with lever hardware and a low-profile threshold. Uneven thresholds and sticking doors are among the top fall and access risks in the home for anyone over 65.
- Lever-style hardware in kitchens and entries
- Low-profile, flush thresholds
- Wider door openings where feasible
- Removal of raised saddles and floor clutter near entries
- Adequate lighting along walking paths
- Non-slip mats at exterior entries
