In-Home Fall Prevention Assessment
Helping Seniors To Age Safely In Their Homes
Aging In Place
Safe Aging In Place does not just happen...it requires proactive steps to identify hazards and make necessary changes that enhance independence and reduce fall risks.
Changes that matter.
There are changes ranging from numerous low-cost options and equipment to more extensive changes in the layout of a home that can significantly reduce fall risks and improve independence of older adults desiring to remain in their homes.
In-Home Assessment
We provide a comprehensive in-home consultation lasting approximately one hour, focusing on identifying existing safety hazards and offering professional recommendations on home adaptations to enhance safety and independence for aging adults and those living with sudden injuries or chronic conditions.
After the consultation, you'll receive a detailed written report of our meeting, including visual aids and links for purchasing the recommended equipment.
Serving the Baton Rouge Area
Two paths are available:
