Home Safety - Accident Prevention

Professionals click here for more info

We think of home as a place of safety. But as we age, for some of us the home can become a place of hazards without our realising it. One out of every three falls among older people happen because of hazards rather than medical or unsteadiness problems. Here’s some examples:

· Do you struggle or worry about getting in and out of your bath safely?
· Are your carpets and rugs smooth and taped down at the edges?
· Do you have a light within arm’s reach of your bed?
· Are your stairs well lit?
· Is your front door secure?
· Do you have to step carefully over trailing TV, phone or other
· wires?
· Can you reach the toilet safely and quickly at night?

We can organise a free Home Safety Check for you, and then carry out any necessary adaptations to make life at home safer and give you peace of mind.
