Senior Fall Risk & Home Safety Services in Fairfield, CT
Falls at home, especially among the elderly and disabled, are a leading cause of hospitalization and serious health issues. To combat these risks and enhance overall safety, Executive Home Care offers a specialized Fall Risk and Home Safety program. This program is designed to minimize these dangers and create a secure living environment for seniors.
Our extensive service includes a detailed on-site safety assessment conducted by a licensed professional. This expert will examine various aspects of the home and review prescriptions* to identify any potential drug interactions that could increase the risk of falling. To arrange an in-home consultation, please call (203) 693-9049.
Maintaining a safe home environment for seniors is essential, as aging introduces unique challenges that elevate the risk of accidents. Caregivers are crucial in enhancing home safety by pinpointing potential hazards and implementing preventative strategies. This includes removing dangerous objects and ensuring appliances are turned off when not in use.
Our team performs thorough inspections to identify tripping hazards like area rugs, low tables, and ottomans. We also check for cords or lines that could cause falls, assess non-slip flooring, and identify any other safety concerns that might pose risks.
To further reduce the risk of falls, particularly in high-risk areas such as bathrooms, we often install grab bars. Understanding the importance of simplifying daily tasks for seniors, we also provide cooking and shower stools, as well as a shoe bench for the front door, which are particularly beneficial for those with disabilities. These modifications help seniors maintain their independence while performing everyday activities such as cooking, bathing, and using the restroom.
We are dedicated to significantly enhancing the safety of your loved one’s home. Our commitment to prioritizing the health and safety of our clients is at the core of our mission, ensuring they can live securely and comfortably.
