What a Home Safety Assessment Includes
Fall Prevention
Falls are a leading cause of injury among seniors. We assess the
risk of falls and recommend modifications like grab bars, non-slip flooring, and
improved lighting to enhance stability and reduce the likelihood of accidents. Our
experts will also suggest the removal of tripping hazards such as loose rugs and
clutter, and the installation of handrails on stairs and in hallways
Mobility and Accessibility
We evaluate the accessibility of your home, suggesting
changes such as ramp installations widened doorways, and stairlifts to ensure
ease of movement for seniors with mobility challenges. We also consider the
placement of furniture and appliances to ensure that they are within easy reach and
do not obstruct pathways.
Kitchen Modifications
The kitchen is another area where safety is paramount. We
identify potential hazards and suggest modifications such as easy-to-reach storage,
anti-scald devices, and improved lighting to enhance safety and convenience. Our
experts will also recommend the use of appliances with safety features, such as
automatic shut-off, to prevent accidents.
Bathroom Safety
Bathrooms can be particularly hazardous for seniors. We focus
on making bathrooms safer by recommending features like walk-in tubs, shower
chairs, and hand-held showerheads to prevent slips and falls. Additionally, we
suggest the installation of non-slip mats, grab bars, and raised toilet seats to further
enhance safety and comfort.
Fire and Carbon Monoxide Safety
We’ll inspect smoke alarms, carbon monoxide
detectors, and fire extinguishers to ensure they are in working order and strategically
placed. We’ll also check for potential fire hazards, such as exposed electrical cords
or outdated appliances
Lighting and Visibility
Good lighting is essential for reducing the risk of accidents.
We’ll assess whether your home is well-lit in all critical areas, such as stairways,
hallways, and bathrooms, and suggest improvements to help prevent trips and falls.
Emergency Preparedness
We’ll guide you in creating a personal emergency plan,
ensuring that important phone numbers, medical information, and emergency
contacts are easily accessible in case of a sudden emergency or health event.
Assistive Technology and Devices: If needed, we’ll recommend tools like alert
systems, medical alert devices, or motion-sensor lights to increase safety and
provide a sense of security.

Security Measures
Ensuring the security of the home is also a key aspect of our
assessment. We recommend the installation of security systems, door and window
locks, and peepholes to protect against intruders. Our team will also suggest the
use of motion-sensor lighting around the exterior of the home to deter potential
threats.
Comfort and Well-being
Beyond safety, we also consider the overall comfort and
well-being of seniors. This includes evaluating the heating and cooling systems to
ensure a comfortable living environment, as well as suggesting modifications to
improve natural lighting and ventilation.
