Fall Risk and Home Safety in Utah County and the Surrounding Areas
The safety of elderly individuals within their homes is a significant concern. With age, they may face challenges in maintaining their living environment. Caregivers can play a vital role in enhancing home safety by implementing preventative measures and addressing potential issues. This may involve the removal of potential hazards and ensuring that appliances are turned off when not in use.
Our team will carefully assess items such as area rugs, low tables, and ottomans for possible safety risks. We will also conduct checks for cords, wires, non-slip flooring, and other potential tripping hazards.
Our team understands the importance of simplifying the living environment for the elderly to enhance their home safety. Common solutions include installing bathroom grab bars, as many in-home falls occur in the bathroom. Additionally, we often provide easily accessible seating options, such as kitchen and shower stools, as well as a bench near the front entrance for putting on shoes. These modifications make it easier for seniors to cook, bathe, and perform their daily tasks independently.
We are dedicated to significantly improving the safety of your loved ones’ homes and take pride in our commitment to elder safety.
