Safety Awareness In the Home
Awareness is Preparedness
Why Bee Aware
Two of the most dangerous issues facing us, as we age, are falls and fires. 40% of seniors hospitalized for falls don't live longer than a year. It is a safe bet that many more seniors involved in falls or fires end up in assisted living or nursing homes.
Safety awareness in the home helps you stay in your home for as long as possible. A life of dignity amongst friends and family is the foundation for aging gracefully. Home is the best place to be.
Role of Aging
Age creeps up on us. The body weakens as we lose muscle tone, vision and, in some cases memory. One reason that accidents occur is because the mind refuses to believe its body and we sometimes over-reach.
Misunderstanding and misuse of prescriptions can be a factor leading to falls and fires. Thus, we should be aware of the proper use of our prescriptions and how they affect us as we age.

The key to safety awareness is organization! We provide tools like checklists, posters and workbooks designed to make you aware of hazards and the steps to take in order to avoid them in your home. Awareness leads to action. If you maintain periodic reviews of your home's safety, you can easily minimize hazards.
Falls - We provide checklists that help you avoid falls in your home. They are organized around living areas in and outside your home.
