Do not collect clutter because it makes cleaning difficult. Lighting and Wiring Distribute light evenly with no glare. Pull-down lights provide ease in cleaning and replacement of bulbs as opposed to ceiling lights. Place lighting close to work areas or reading areas. Place lights outside doors, in hallways, and on all areas with steps or stairs.
Night lights are mandatory.
Use master switches for outdoor lights and some indoor lights. Place outlets at least 18 inches from the floor and no more than 10 feet apart if possible. Never locate outlets near the bathtub. Provide outlets with four receptacles at your bed side. Provide adequate lighting where medical supplies and medicines are stored.
