Four Things You Can Do To Prevent Falls

As some of you may have already read, the concept behind Aging-In-Place Remodeling began forming about 17 years ago after Tyler was injured during a rock climbing accident. His back was broken and he was told that he would never walk again. As a 22 year old college student this news was devastating. However, since Tyler was a very healthy athlete in great condition, he was able to prove the doctor wrong and did indeed make a full recovery. This did not happen overnight though.

How to Make Your Home Safer Today

About half of all falls happen at home. To make your home safer:
 

• Remove things you can trip over (like papers, books, clothes, and shoes) from stairs and places where you walk.
• Remove unnecessary furniture or other items. We know this isn't easy and can sometimes seem like an overwhelming task. If you need help there are great companies in the San Diego / Riverside area that will help you keep the items you want/need and to remove the items that you don't.

Don't Wait Until It's too Late

Many times we have heard that people "aren't ready" for our services yet. Or "I don't need you yet". We think you should WANT us BEFORE you NEED us. If you NEED our services it generally means that you have already experienced the traumatic injury and your mobility and accessibility to parts of your home have been hindered. So the time to install the grab bars and accessible bathing options is now.
