A Senior Home Safety Assessment includes the exterior of the home, all entry areas, every room including bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry room, garage, basement, kitchen and dining room, lighting evaluation, fire safety and electrical safety. 
 
Such an assessment will identify risky situations or environments that could result in someone being hurt—or, sadly, suffering severe injury from a fall.
 
Being a certified ‘Senior Home Safety Specialist’, I provide verbal feedback for identified precarious situations or environments that require urgent remediation. 
 
Depending on the size of the residence, the assessment takes between two and three hours. Afterwards, a complete summary is provided with recommendations for fall prevention and home safety and sent by email or post within a week or so.
