What are the most important things to keep in mind in order to make sure your home supports your well-being? Dr. Shawn Weiss joins Suzanne Newman on the Answers for Elders Radio Show to talk about environmental wellness, one of the eight foundational principles of senior wellness featured this summer in the Vitality Revolution podcast series. In this segment, Dr. Shawn shares five critical areas to concentrate on:

1. Lighting throughout the home
2. Declutter pathways throughout the home from cords, lamps, charger cords
3. Address safety areas at entrances to the home
4. Keep emergency preparedness items, like first aid kits and items needed if you lose power such as portable phone chargers, purified water in an accessible location, some non-perishable food items, have life alert system in place, place emergency contacts list on the fridge in case you or others need them
5. Declutter to remove general hazards throughout the rest of the house
