In-Home Senior Safety

At Homewatch CareGivers, Your Loved One’s Safety is Our Priority

Entrusting your loved one’s care to Homewatch CareGivers^® means you will have an extra pair of eyes looking out for safety hazards. Something as simple as clutter on the floor or a dim light in the hallway could lead to an accident. Caregivers are especially alert to in-home risks and can minimize the chance of injury while maximizing senior home safety.

Experts in Home Safety for Seniors

Our compassionate caregivers are trained to identify safety hazards and take measures to prevent accidents. In fact, we take safety so seriously that we often begin a new elder care relationship with a home safety assessment. This service is also a cornerstone of our transition care services to ensure that clients return from a hospital stay to a safe and comfortable home environment.

These are just a few ways Homewatch CareGivers protects clients from dangers in the home:

• Food Safety: Caregivers are trained to be vigilant in preparing and delivering snacks and meals.
• Fall Prevention: Unfortunately, fall risk is high amongst the senior population and is a key factor in home safety for elderly people. Specially trained caregivers detect these risks and find solutions before they become a problem. We also conduct complimentary in-home consultations to identify and remedy any possible hazards.
• Emergency Preparedness: In order to reduce the risk of a fire, there should be a regularly checked smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector in the home, as well as a fire extinguisher, preferably in or near the kitchen. 
• Medication Safety: In-home caregivers specialize in providing personal support for seniors. One way to support seniors’ safety and health is by reminding them to take their medicine on the prescribed schedule. Caregivers will also adhere to any dietary considerations associated with medicine.
