Safety Assessments and Home Assessments
Safety inspections and home assessments help you identify trip and fall hazards in and around the home. Often times when you have lived in a home for many years, you tend to not see or to overlook hazardous conditions. Also, as you age your needs and abilities change requiring changes in your home to keep it safe for you or your loved ones.
A basic Safety Inspection consists of a walk through of the home to point out the immediate needs to make the home more safe.
A Home Assessment is a more extensive inspection of the home for immediate needs as well as future needs with recommendations for modifications, assistive products, and services.

The Four Most Important things that seniors can do to live at home comfortably and safely:

Number One: Stay in touch with your doctor and have regular checkups.

Number Two: Take your medications consistently and on time. Also, regularly exercise even if your exercise is only a short walk each day.

Number Three: Reduce the risk of tripping and falling. Remove clutter from walkways and stairways, remove or secure throw rugs, arrange furniture so that you have adequate room to walk, install ramps at doorways and steps, install railings in hallways, install grab bars in the shower/tub/toilet areas, and if needed, change the bathtub to the walk-in type and/or the shower to a roll-in type.

Number Four: Make sure that the lighting is adequate, especially, in hallways and stairways. Another very important item is to have current working smoke detectors in hallways leading to the bedroom, as well as, inside the bedroom.

There are many more things you can do to make your home safe and comfortable and if you need help do not hesitate to call in a professional. A call may save you a trip to the hospital and possibly to a skilled nursing facility.
