Fall Risk & Senior Home Safety Assessment in Somerset, NJ and the Surrounding Areas
The safety of seniors within their homes is a critical concern. As people age, they may encounter challenges that increase the likelihood of accidents. Caregivers play an essential role in improving senior home safety assessment by implementing preventative measures and addressing potential hazards. This can include eliminating clutter, securing loose cords, and ensuring that appliances are properly switched off when not in use.
Our specialized team conducts a comprehensive senior home safety assessment, looking for issues that may cause safety risks, such as area rugs, low furniture, or non-slip flooring. Common tripping hazards like wires and cords are identified and addressed during the assessment. A thorough review of the home environment helps us suggest changes like installing bathroom grab bars to prevent falls, which are especially frequent in the bathroom. We also provide seating solutions, such as kitchen and shower stools, along with benches near the front entrance to make it easier to put on shoes.
These adjustments are made to ensure that seniors can engage in independent daily activities like cooking, bathing, and getting dressed, all while maintaining a safe environment.
Our senior home safety assessment and recommendations are designed to give families peace of mind, knowing that we are committed to enhancing the safety and well-being of their loved ones.
