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:
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.
Amazing Grace Health Ministries, Inc.
expressly disclaim any liability with respect to the
findings or suggestions of any home safety check,
the consequences of any actions taken, or not taken,
on the basis of the information provided or
omitted from any home safety check’s
findings or suggestions.
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.
Basic ramps for those who would otherwise be homebound and socially isolated.
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.
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.
A Consent Form MUST be signed before any service can be done. Renters are responsible for getting signed consent from Landlord. Owners will sign a consent form authorizing the safety improvements.
All work is for Home Safety Improvement. There will be no cosmetic work allowed.
Your support and contributions will enable us to improve conditions
in the homes of those who are at great risk for injuries
from falls and other accidents that occur frequently to our Seniors & Disabled.
Your generous donation will help make someone safer in their home,
keeping them in their home longer.
