What to prioritize first
If you can only do one thing, replace worn carpet or slick tile with a slip-resistant, low-pile or textured surface and eliminate height differences between rooms. Uneven transitions and loose rugs are among the top fall risks in the home for anyone over 65.
- Slip-resistant LVP or textured floor tile in kitchens and entries
- Low-pile carpet or firm-cushion carpet in bedrooms
- Flush, low-profile transitions between rooms (straightforward on Tampa Bay's slab-on-grade homes)
- Removal of loose area rugs and floor clutter
- Adequate lighting along walking paths
- Non-slip treads on lanai and pool-deck transitions
