Fall risks. Unsafe bathrooms. Wobbly steps.
If you’ve got aging parents at home, these aren’t just concerns, they’re potential crises. But don’t stress, because you don’t have to figure it out alone.
At Home Instead, we offer free in-home consultations to help families like yours understand what it really takes to age in place safely. And when safety upgrades are needed, we help you get it done with trusted partners like Home Safety Services, the gold standard in home modifications for older adults.
Why Home Safety Matters
Each year, 1 in 4 adults over 65 experiences a fall. Many of those falls happen at home - in bathrooms, on stairs, or while trying to get out of bed or the shower.
And most of them? Are preventable.
That’s why a home safety check-up is vital before something scary happens.
What to Expect in Your Free Consultation
When you call us, here’s how we help:
- We visit your loved one’s home and assess high-risk areas (bathroom, entryways, stairs, etc.)
- We listen to their daily routines and concerns
- We recommend simple, effective safety upgrades
- We connect you directly with trusted experts like Home Safety Services to get those modifications installed - quickly, affordably, and professionally
No pressure. No sales pitch. Just a compassionate care team helping you prepare wisely.
What Kinds of Safety Upgrades Might Be Needed?
Once we assess your loved one’s home, we may recommend:
- Grab bars in the bathroom or near the bed
- Non-slip flooring or walk-in shower conversions
- Stair or porch railings
- Wheelchair ramps or door threshold fixes
- Lift systems for beds or stairs
- Toilet risers or handheld showers
- Better lighting in hallways and entryways
Our partners at HomeSafety.net specialize in these kinds of modifications and more - and we help you take that first step confidently.
