Senior Safety Online's History, Mission and Future

 

 Senior Safety Online's History

Picture-Smiling Couple

Senior Safety Online was designed to help seniors live at  home by avoiding falls and fires. Originally, safety awareness was accessible to senior housing only. The  program has been successful. In some senior housing facilities falls have been reduced by over 70 percent.

 

We work with Senior Housing Facility staff and residents to set  up safety  teams whose goal is to promote safe living in resident units and in the building's  common areas.

 

We believe one reason for the program's effectiveness is that it stresses fun and sharing. Seminars are interactive with attendees invited to offer personal insight. Buzz, our mascot,  is whimsical not pedantic.

 

Our safety awareness program is proven and cost-effective. It is part of the larger concept  of 'aging in place'. Avoidance of accidents allows people to remain where they live as they  age. Helping people to age gracefully is our larger goal.

 

Senior Safety Online's Mission

 

  • Help seniors and retirees live accident free lives and age gracefully
  • Design effective safety awareness programs for seniors in housing facilities and those living at home.
  • Support those who care for and serve seniors.
  • Liaison with the private sector to design and implement programs that will bring resources in support of low    and middle income seniors into their communities.
  • Promote safety awareness through easily accessible information with the purpose of tying senior housing    facilities and seniors in the community together using seminars and the internet

    Senior Safety Online and the Future

     

    We believe real change occurs in communities. Senior Safety Online is positioned to help seniors where they live: at home.  We are expanding our safety awareness program into  the homes of seniors.

     

    We have worked within senior communities in the past. We develop networks of active  seniors serving as gatekeepers who lead us to venues for presenting seminars. Our web  site will be hub for  information, tools and checklists that can be used anywhere in the  country.

     

    Using the web to promote a safety awareness program is, in itself, cost-effective, but it is  more effective when used in conjunction with local seminars and promotions in senior  housing facilities and senior centers.
