AGING IN PLACE - SENIOR HOME SAFETY ASSESSMENT
Why An Assessment Matters
Here’s a startling fact: 1 in 4 adults over 65 will experience a fall this year, according to the CDC. That’s not just a number; it could be someone’s grandmother, father, or neighbor. And many of these falls happen at home.
A senior home safety assessment isn’t about being overly cautious, it’s about being smart. It can:
- Reduce the risk of injuries and hospital visits
- Make the seniors' and caregivers’ lives easier
- Give seniors more confidence to live independently
- Offer peace of mind to families near and far
- Help you take action before something happens.
What's Evaluated During A Home Safety Assessment?
The assessment is a thorough, room-by-room evaluation of a home’s interior and exterior space seen through a safety lens. You’ll receive a checklist, notes, and even photo documentation so you know exactly what needs to be improved. With a clear understanding of what’s involved, it’s important to recognize why these assessments are so crucial today.
