Safety audit free for seniors Free home safety assessments are being offered to seniors by a local business during Fall Prevention Week (Nov. 26-30). "One in three people aged 65 and older fall each year and with the majority of accidental deaths among seniors resulting from falls, fall prevention has become an increasingly important issue in Oakville," stated a press release announcing the offer by Nurse Next Door, an in-home care business specializing in medical and non-medical care and services for seniors. The majority of senior falls are preventable, that's why Nurse Next Door is sending staff trained in fall prevention into local homes to conduct free home safety assessments for seniors. Common causes for falls can include: area or scatter rugs; improper footwear; lack of grab bars or handrails; poor lighting, pet toys, dishes, and other items; and lack of rubber mats in bath tubs. "Our home safety assessment allows us to show seniors how to make their homes safer by minimizing risks," Lori Paton, co-owner of Nurse Next Door in Southern Ontario, said in the release. "We're urging seniors and their families to call us early to book their free fall safety assessment."
