My father is still living independently. He refuses physical assistance of any kind, but I am so worried about him getting injured from safety hazards around the home. How can I help him while still respecting his wishes?

Thanks for reaching out. I understand your concerns; falls are the leading cause of injury to seniors, and living independently (aging in place) can increase your father's risk of falling. Although he may refuse your physical assistance in the activities of daily living, there are some things you can do to make the home safer for him.
