Bedroom Safety Checklist

Nighttime is when many home injuries happen. A well-lit path, an accessible phone, and a clear floor can support safer routines around sleep and early morning movement.

• Keep a phone or reliable way to call for help within reach of the bed.
• Keep a flashlight near the bed in case of a power outage.
• Use night lights or motion-sensor lighting between the bedroom and bathroom.
• Keep floors clear of shoes, cords, clothing, and clutter.
• Make sure the bed height supports safe sit-to-stand transfers.
• Keep frequently used items within easy reach.
• Keep the path from bed to bathroom clear and easy to follow at night.
