Home Safety Needs

    Home Safety Evaluation

    A Volunteer will perform a Home Safety Evaluation and make recommendations on how to make the home safer. 

    We use a Home Safety Checklist obtained from "Home Instead Senior Care®". 


    A sample of what is included:

    • Checking for a working smoke detector on every floor.
    • Usage of scatter rugs. 
    • Checking the location of electrical or telephone cords in  traffic areas.
    • The presence and sturdiness of rails for all stairs inside and outside the house.
    • The level of inside lighting - the wattage of light bulbs 
    • Stairwell lighting
    • Presence of bath aids: rails in the bath/shower and on the sides of the toilet.
    • Is the tub  skid-proof? Does the bath mat has a non-slip bottom.
    • Telephone access- cord vs cordless; volume level

    The Home Safety Evaluation is provided solely for the purpose 

    of raising the recipient’s awareness of any potential home 

    safety issues.  It is not intended to, nor can it, address every potential home safety issue present in the recipient’s home. 


     Recipients of this home safety Evaluation are encouraged 

    to consult with a qualified home inspector or home repair contractor for any recommended and necessary home 

    repairs and safety updates.

    findings or suggestions.

    Safety Rail Installation

    The Value Of Safety Rails

    Grab bars or rails in or around the bathtub, shower and toilet help to balance when standing or sitting also something to hold on to in case of a slip. (Note that a towel bar or a soap dish isn’t a substitute for a grab bar, as it's not designed to hold your weight).


    Stair rails/handrails protect from falling off the edge of the stairs or landings also to help balance and provide leverage when ascending/descending stairs.


    Wheelchair Ramps

    Basic ramps for those who would otherwise be homebound and socially isolated.

    The Benefits Of A Home Ramp

    There may come a time when your normal route of entry into your home becomes unsafe or impossible to navigate. This could be due to  physical weakness, inability to safely use steps or being wheelchair-bound. 

    What Will Be Needed?

    The AGHM Volunteer will provide a list of needed supplies. 

    Recipient responsibility is to purchase/obtain the listed supplies. 


    There is NO cost for any labor service provided by AGHM Volunteers.
