Fall Risk & Home Safety in Bergen County, NJ and the Surrounding Areas
Falls are a leading cause of injury and hospitalization among seniors and individuals with disabilities. At Executive Home Care, we are dedicated to improving home safety and reducing fall risks to help seniors maintain their independence. Our Fall Risk & Home Safety program is designed to identify potential hazards in the home and implement preventative measures that create a secure living environment.

Fall Risk and Home Safety in Bergen County, NJ and the Surrounding Areas
As seniors age, everyday tasks can become more difficult, increasing the risk of accidents. Our caregivers play a vital role in improving home safety by addressing potential hazards and making necessary modifications. Simple adjustments, such as securing loose cords, removing clutter, and ensuring appliances are properly turned off, can make a significant difference.
During our assessment, we look for common risks such as:
-
Tripping hazards, including area rugs and unsecured wires
-
Insufficient lighting in hallways, stairwells, and outdoor spaces
-
Slippery flooring in bathrooms and kitchens
We also provide recommendations for home modifications, including:
-
Installing grab bars in bathrooms to prevent falls
-
Providing shower stools and kitchen chairs for added stability
-
Placing benches near entryways to assist with putting on shoes
By making these adjustments, seniors can continue engaging in daily activities such as cooking, bathing, and getting dressed while staying safe and comfortable in their own homes.
At Executive Home Care, we believe that home safety is essential for seniors to maintain their independence and enjoy a higher quality of life. Our assessments and recommendations give families confidence that their loved ones are in a secure environment.
