Aging in Place, Safely.

Most older adults want to stay in their homes as they age, unfortunately, few actually make the changes necessary to do so. Falls are the leading cause of death from injury among those 65 and older. An unsafe environment is one of the top reasons seniors have to leave their homes.

UP TO 50% OF HOME ACCIDENTS AMONG SENIORS CAN BE PREVENTED BY PROPER HOME MODIFICATIONS AND REPAIRS!

Our professional support team perform a full assessment of a home’s safety, then make recommendations for the specific modifications necessary to make the home setting safe for aging in place.

MODIFICATIONS TO AGE IN PLACE SAFETY

Small things that weren’t an issue when they were younger can become major health and safety risks as people age. We provide thorough assessments of a home’s exterior and interior, and make recommendations for the modifications necessary to make the home safer. We can also offer referrals for local handymen to install safety equipment and make modifications.

Some of the areas of assessment include:

  • Home Modifications (grab bars, anti-slip treads, better lighting)

  • Fall Prevention (clearing pathways, eliminating slip and fall hazards)

  • Fire Prevention (smoke alarms, kitchen safety, escape plans)

  • Medical Alert Call Buttons & Devices

We want seniors who stay in their home to be safe in their homes!

“Due to cancer, my husband became handicapped, restricted to a wheelchair, requiring us to move from our two story home to a one-level ranch. A daunting task. Where to begin? Along comes Gayle! Our Godsend. Over a series of months, Gayle began room by room 1 or 2 days a week to pack non-essential items. Before her arrival, I planned the objective of the day which she effortlessly negotiated. Moving day arrived-we we're ready. Gayle even transported fragile items which I did not want our movers handling.

GAYLE IS DEPENDABLE, HONEST AND POLITE. SHE WORKS CAREFULLY AND QUICKLY. SHE COMMUNICATES WELL AND OFFERS GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

My husband and I were very pleased with the result. We highly recommend Gayle and would hire her again.”
