Organization in the home for Seniors

It is so important to have an organized home as you get older in life.  The risks of injury in an unorganized home increases dramatically.  If you can not get to those things in your home that matter the most you can get hurt trying.  For instance your kitchen should be arranged where you no longer have to bend over to reach a favorite pot, or use a step stool to get that favorite dish.  Those two things could result in a fall.  Loose rugs in the home are also a potential hazard, you could trip on the edge and take a fall as well.  Having too much clutter around can be a potential threat to harm as well.
Having an organized house will clear your mind and make you feel much better about your house and your situation.  Getting through the clutter can be difficult or too overwhelming to do on you own.  Ask for help, if it is too much to ask family to be involved ask for professional help. 
Having an organized home is good for your health and your day to day living.
