Elderly Home Safety Assessment .
Is the home environment of the elderly safe enough?
Elderly people spend a lot of time at home, so the safety of their home environment cannot be ignored. When it comes to safety, professional advice is even more critical.
AccessAble's professional team includes a Certified Senior Home Safety Specialist® who provides professional advice on improving seniors' home safety.
We can also provide on-site home safety assessment services to gain an in-depth understanding of the elderly’s living habits, health conditions, self-care abilities and other needs, and then provide a comprehensive home improvement plan based on the existing home environment.
The assessment includes:
Home Environment Safety Assessment
Comprehensively inspect the home environment to assess whether there are potential hazards that may cause injuries to the elderly, such as uneven floors, lack of handrails on stairs and in the bathroom. Combined with professional knowledge, we provide targeted improvement project suggestions to enhance home safety and comfort.
