Home Audits: Safe Home, Confident Living

Keep Living Independently, Longer.

For many older adults, the home is the heart of life. Home Audits specializes in ensuring your living space supports your desire for long-term independence. We conduct thorough, professional home safety checks focused on fall prevention and safety so you can continue to live comfortably and confidently in the home you love, for as long as possible.

Why Choose a Home Audit Now?

Every year, falls are a leading cause of injury and hospitalization among older persons. Simple, low-cost modifications can dramatically reduce this risk. Our audit isn’t about moving you out—it’s about empowering you to stay in.

  • Proactive Prevention: Identify risks before a slip or fall occurs.

  • Peace of Mind: Provides reassurance for both you and your family members.

  • Cost-Effective: Simple modifications recommended by us are far less costly than hospital stays or long-term care fees.

What Does a Home Audit Include?

Our comprehensive assessment is conducted by a trained safety specialist and takes approximately 1-2 hours. We evaluate every area of the home where potential hazards might exist.

Our 5-Point Safety Check:

  1. Stairs and Pathways: Assessment of lighting, handrail security, stair tread condition, and risk of tripping on clutter.

  2. Bathrooms: Detailed checks for slippery surfaces, appropriate grab bar placement, shower/bath accessibility, and toilet height.

  3. Lighting and Electrics: Review of light switch accessibility, adequacy of illumination (especially at night), and managing trip hazards from cables.

  4. Kitchen and Appliances: Checking accessibility of frequently used items, stability of flooring, and safe use of appliances. Colour coded and large labels on cupboards

  5. Flooring and Rugs: Identification of loose rugs, uneven thresholds, or changes in floor levels that pose trip risks.
