daylight, meals, and regular sleep habits. Changing the clock suddenly may leave a senior feeling tired at bedtime or wide awake too early in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few days before the time change:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Move bedtime and wake-up time slightly earlier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep meals and daytime activities on a steady schedule.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open curtains or enjoy morning sunlight after waking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limit long or late-afternoon naps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep relaxing bedtime habits, such as reading or listening to quiet music.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morning light can help reinforce a healthy sleep-wake routine.

Dim hallways, stairs, bathrooms, and entrances can make moving around more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walk through the home during late afternoon and evening. Look for dark areas, especially along the route from the bedroom to the bathroom. Consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brighter bulbs in hallways and stairways<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Night-lights near the bed and bathroom<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy-to-reach light switches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear pathways without cords, clutter, or loose rugs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outdoor lighting near steps, walkways, and doors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CDC recommends removing trip hazards, improving lighting, and using handrails or bathroom grab bars to make homes safer for older adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" src=\"https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/westborough\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2026\/10\/image-1-1024x569.jpeg\" alt=\"Caregiver in the driver's seat smiling at a senior woman seated beside him, both wearing seat belts.\n\" class=\"wp-image-18372\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.798270893371758;width:624px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/westborough\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2026\/10\/image-1-1024x569.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/westborough\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2026\/10\/image-1-300x167.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/westborough\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2026\/10\/image-1-767x426.jpeg 767w, https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/westborough\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2026\/10\/image-1.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rethink_Evening_Driving\"><\/span><strong>Rethink Evening Driving<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier sunsets can make familiar roads feel different. Glare from headlights, lower contrast, and difficulty seeing pedestrians or road markings may increase discomfort after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seniors who prefer not to drive at night can schedule errands and appointments earlier. Family members, friends, community transportation, or <a href=\"https:\/\/alwaysbestcare.com\/westborough\/resources\/keeping-medications-organized\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">professional caregivers<\/a> may help with rides. The goal isn\u2019t to take away independence; it\u2019s to support safe, confident choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_for_Fall_Hazards_in_Westborough_MA\"><\/span><strong>Watch for Fall Hazards in Westborough, MA<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wet leaves, uneven pavement, and hidden steps can create trouble around Westborough homes.

Encourage your loved one not to rush to answer the door or reach the bathroom, especially in low light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fear of falling deserves attention.
