You can install the following equipment in your kitchen

- A table on casters: it can be a solution to move plates and dishes between the kitchen and the dining room. However, it must not be diverted from its original use: do not support yourself on it to walk. Also verify that the floor lends itself to it (no difference in level, floor covering is in good condition)
- A daily or weekly medication organiser;
The prevention of falls also requires taking the appropriate medication at the right time: overmedication is to be avoided at all costs, as is forgetting to take an essential part of your medication treatment.
>> A medication organiser can help you take your medication at the right time: this very practical technical aid is highly recommended when you take a certain number of medications at different times in the day.
The model should be easy to use, both in terms of manipulation (in accordance with your level of dexterity) and comprehension (good illustrations and boxes that correspond to your treatment needs).
For treatments that need to be taken at precise times (e.g. Parkinson treatment), medication organisers with alarm signals are advised.

L'avis de Henriette :

when you go out, you should plan ahead and bring a little box containing your medication along so as not to miss the times at which you need to take your treatment (should you be held up by traffic, transport, at a friend's house).

- A chair enabling a semi-seated position: this stable chair equipped with armrests and a high and inclined seat enables a good sitting position before a high countertop.
- A high stool: for people who get tired easily and/or have a poor balance standing up, the sitting or semi-sitting position during meal preparation makes it possible to avoid small steps and instability.
