Keeping my elderly Mum safe

During these difficult times I have found myself looking at the world quite differently. Being a Mum, daughter and wife all I want to do is keep my family as safe as possible. My elderly Mum, lives alone and is self-isolating, and we have a chat over the phone every day to check on each other. She enjoys listening to the shenanigans of what the kids have been up to. My main concern is her safety within her home. Each year she is getting a bit more frail and I worry about her falling and not knowing about it until our phone call the next day. I have found a little battery operated light which has a motion sensor in it. I ordered it for her and this company www.mrbeams.co.uk/products/universal-night-light-pack-of-2-mb720/ even set it up for her prior to dispatch. When they arrived all she had to do was put them by her bed and along the hall and into the bathroom. At least now when she needs to go to the bathroom at night, she doesn’t have to fumble for the mains lighting. As soon as she gets out of bed, her room is illuminated and she can see where she is going. We all have lots of worries to contend with, some we can’t overcome but I feel a little less stressed overnight now. Anything we can do to stop the potential trips and falls to take the burden off the NHS is a positive in my mind.
