What is a Home Safety Specialist®?

A Home Safety Specialist® is trained to assess the environment where an aging adult lives in order to make recommendations on how to make the environment more safe and comfortable. 

A Home Safety Specialist® identifies:

• Common causes of house fires and how to reduce potential risks

• Fall risks and appropriate home modifications

• How home modifications can assist those with an aging in place plan

• Effective communication techniques for those with sensory challenges

• Common criminal activities, senior exploitation, and other scams that affect an aging adult’s safety

• Technology tools for home safety and security

When is the right time to hire a Home Safety Specialist®? Whether your loved one is planning to age where they currently live or they plan to move in with a relative, it would be proactive to hire someone to assess the environment and make recommendations as necessary. These recommendations can allow your loved one to not only stay independent and healthy longer, but will also provide your family with a peace of mind.
