Reducing Risks at Home:

As our loved ones age, it’s important to make sure their homes are safe and secure. But it’s not just about falls and physical safety; electrical hazards, home invasions, and health hazards can also pose a threat. A Home Safety Evaluation can help address these concerns and ensure your loved one’s home is a haven for their twilight years.

Electrical Hazards

Older homes may have hazardous electrical systems. A Home Safety Evaluation can identify risks like overloaded circuits and frayed wires. Upgrading the electrical system is recommended to ensure safety.

Home Invasion Risks

As our loved ones age, they may become more vulnerable to home invasions. A Home Safety Evaluation will assess the exterior of the home and make recommendations to improve security, such as adding locks, alarms, or motion-sensor lights.

Health Hazards

Older homes can also pose health hazards, such as mold or radon. A Home Safety Evaluation will assess the home for these and other potential health hazards and make recommendations to address them.

Fire Hazards

Fires can be a deadly hazard for older adults. A Home Safety Evaluation will assess the home for fire hazards, such as outdated or improperly installed smoke detectors, and make recommendations to upgrade the fire safety system.
