Increasing Wellness at Home for the New Year

Increasing Wellness at Home for the New Year

Create a Safer Living Space

Wellness starts with safety. Simple home adjustments can greatly reduce the risk of falls and injuries:

• Remove clutter and secure loose rugs

• Improve lighting in hallways and stairways

• Install grab bars in bathrooms and non-slip mats in tubs

• Keep frequently used items within easy reach

A safer home allows individuals to move with confidence and independence.

Establish Healthy Daily Routines

Consistent routines support both physical and mental health. Encourage:

• Regular wake-up and bedtimes

• Scheduled meals and hydration

• Gentle daily movement, such as stretching or short walks

• Time for rest and relaxation

Structure brings comfort, stability, and a sense of control.  Especially during life transitions.

Nourish the Body With Balanced Meals

Nutrition plays a key role in overall wellness. Aim for:

• Well-balanced meals with fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains

• Easy-to-eat, nutrient-dense foods

• Proper hydration throughout the day

Meal preparation support or companionship during meals can also turn eating into a more enjoyable and social experience.
