As we age, everyday tasks that once felt simple can become riskier—especially when it comes to electricity. Older adults may face challenges such as reduced mobility, slower reaction times, or difficulty spotting hazards like frayed cords or overloaded outlets. These factors can increase the likelihood of shocks, fires, or accidental injuries in the home.
