Fall Risk & Home Safety in Shelton, CT
Ensuring proper home safety for elders is critical, as aging can present unique problems that raise the likelihood of accidents. Caregivers play an important role in improving home safety by identifying potential hazards and taking preventative measures. This includes eliminating potentially dangerous things and turning off appliances while not in use.
Our staff conducts rigorous inspections to identify potential tripping hazards, such as area rugs, low tables, and ottomans. We also look for cords or lines that could cause falls, evaluate nonslip flooring, and detect any other hazards that could jeopardize safety.
We frequently install grab bars to further limit the danger of falls, particularly in high-risk places such as toilets. Recognizing the importance of making daily duties easier for elders, we also offer cooking and shower stools, as well as a shoe bench for the front door, which are especially useful for people with disabilities. These modifications allow seniors to keep their independence while conducting daily tasks like cooking, bathing, and using the restroom.
We are committed to dramatically increasing the security of your loved one’s house. Our commitment to emphasizing our customers’ health and home safety is at the heart of what we do, allowing them to live securely and comfortably.
