Home Safety and Senior Safety in Stratford, Shelton, Trumbull, and Fairfield, CT and the Surrounding Areas
For seniors, home safety is an important concern. As they age, they may become less able to manage the house. Caregivers can help make their home a safer place by implementing prevention methods and controlling possible problems. This could include removing hazardous items from the home or making sure that all appliances are turned off when not in use.
We will assess potential hazards, like area rugs, electrical cords, low tables, and ottomans. Our team will assess the environment for cords and wires, nonslip flooring and any other items that can be a trip hazard.
Our team recognizes that making things as easy as possible for seniors can greatly increase their safety. Installing bathroom grab bars is an often taken approach, as many in-home falls happen in the bathroom. Providing easy and accessible seating is another common method used by our team. Accessible seating like kitchen and shower stools make it easier for seniors to cook and bathe independently, as well as placing a bench near the front door for putting shoes on.
Our team can greatly increase home safety for your loved ones, and we take pride in putting senior safety first.
