Home Modifications and Safety Assessments to Age in Place

<p>One of the impediments older adults face with aging at home is the restrictions and obstacles created by the physical aspects of their home. Unless older adults live in a designated community, residential dwellings often become hazardous to them, as the dwellings can contain multiple flights of stairs, steps, and trip and fall hazards. Residential homes also need interior and exterior maintenance, which often requires the ability to carry objects and balance on ladders. In this episode of the Home Care Leadership Series, Doug Robertson talks to Sean Fitzgerald, President of TruBlue Total House Care. The company recently entered into a partnership with Right at Home locations nationwide. TruBlue caters to the needs of older adults seeking to age in their current homes by providing handyman services, home modifications, and extensive interior and exterior fall risk assessments by a Senior Safety Specialist.</p>
