Home safety shouldn’t feel clinical or like an unwanted reminder of getting older. With the right approach, it becomes a natural part of a comfortable, supportive home that boosts your confidence and well-being each day. The goal is simple: a space that lets you live fully and independently in the place you love most… your home.

A Healthy Home Supports a Healthy You...

Small Changes Can Make a Big Difference

Proper lighting is often overlooked but can greatly improve safety. Adding automatic night-lights helps you avoid navigating dark hallways late at night when getting to the bathroom, reducing the risk of nighttime falls.

According to the CDC, the bathroom is one of the most dangerous rooms in the home, with nearly 80% of falls among older adults occurring during routine bathroom activities.

Grab bars are one example of a simple and effective way to reduce falls. But placement matters just as much as the grab bar itself.

As an experienced Wellness and Fall Prevention Consultant certified in home modifications, I will ensure that grab bars are placed in the safest locations—and at the right angle and height—to support your natural movement and maximize your independence and confidence.

Handrails and contrasting step edges are simple but powerful tools for preventing slips and missteps. Clear visual cues improve depth perception, and sturdy rails provide needed support. But their effectiveness depends on proper placement and visibility.

As a Wellness and Fall Prevention Consultant specialized in home modifications , I can identify exactly where these features are needed in your home to meet your needs. Investing in home modifications and fall prevention strategies supports safety, dignity, and the reassurance of staying Safe in Your Place.

According to the CDC:

• Each year, more than one in four adults age 65 and older report falling.

• In 2019, 88% of emergency-department visits and hospitalizations for hip fractures and 83% of deaths related to hip fractures among older adults were caused by falls.

• Around 3 million older adults are treated in emergency departments each year for fall-related injuries.

• Falling once doubles your chances of falling again.

• Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries for adults aged 65 and older.

But YOU can break the cycle!

The good news is that many falls are preventable with small changes at home and a few smart habits. When you understand your risks, you can take simple steps that keep you strong, steady, and living the way you want.
