Falls are one of the leading causes of injury and hospitalization in older adults—and most are preventable. If your loved one is aging in place, now is the time to make the home safer.


SAFE HOMECARE helps families in Tulsa, OK; San Antonio, TX; Denver, CO; and Stuart, FL reduce fall risk with personalized in-home care and safety planning.


Why Seniors Fall

  • Muscle weakness or poor balance

  • Medication side effects

  • Cluttered walkways or loose rugs

  • Poor lighting or bathroom hazards


How to Reduce Fall Risk at Home

  • Install grab bars in the bathroom

  • Keep walkways clear and well-lit

  • Use non-slip mats in the kitchen and shower

  • Encourage proper footwear

  • Review medications with a doctor


How Our Caregivers Help

SAFE HOMECARE caregivers assist with mobility, help prevent risky movements, and monitor for signs of instability. We also provide support with bathing, transfers, and other high-risk activities.


Don’t Wait for a Fall to Happen

Fall prevention starts with awareness and the right support. Even small changes can make a big difference in keeping your loved one safe.
