Have you had a Fall at home?

Do you have difficulty getting around your own home?

Do you just want to make sure your home is Safe For Senior?

With ageing-in-place becoming the preferred option in old age, you can consider to do home improvement such as installing elder-friendly fixtures like handrails and grab bars, non-slip flooring, ramps, special lighting and power switches are some examples of installations that are necessary to enable the elderly to live comfortably and independently in their homes. Bathrooms and kitchens may require renovations to provide safety and convenience. Wardrobes and cabinets design must have the older user in mind. 

Home repairs and modifications help seniors live in their homes for as long as possible.  Making your older adult’s home safer and more accessible reduces fall risk, prevents accidents, and increases independence.

Prevention is better than cure!
