My
Safe Homes
This is a free program, that will run until the funding is done.
My safe homes is a program that was started by Gloria Paradis, she
applied for a grant to assist people over 60 years of age, to assist them with
living at home on their own. This program is into its infancy but has already
helped many people.
What is a safe home visit? It entails a detailed assessment of your home to
identify risk that may cause accidents, falls, or any other injuries.
Installation of CO detectors, smoke detectors, or replacing batteries in
current ones, applying numbers to your house for emergencies, place radon
detectors in homes to ensure a healthy environment. Medical ID bracelets are
given to those with life threatening medical problems, such as allergies or
conditions and referrals are given to the different area agencies that may
have services needed.
In
addition, we also have pamphlets available for Living Wills and Help
Line.
