Complete home safety evaluation
Our most comprehensive assessment examines every room in your home. We document lighting levels throughout the day, test surface friction on all flooring, measure step heights, evaluate door clearances, and assess sight lines from key positions.
You receive a detailed written report that prioritizes risks from highest to lowest concern. Each identified issue includes specific modification recommendations with estimated costs.
Includes:
- Two-hour on-site assessment
- Room-by-room documentation
- Lighting analysis with lux measurements
- Flooring safety testing
- Written report with photographic documentation
- Prioritized action plan
- Follow-up consultation call
Bathroom safety modification
Bathrooms account for the majority of home falls among older adults. Our bathroom program addresses this high-risk area through strategic modifications that maintain accessibility while dramatically improving safety.
We analyze how you currently use the space, then install modifications that support your specific movement patterns. All installations meet Australian safety standards and are completed by licensed contractors.
Includes:
- Specialized bathroom assessment
- Strategic grab bar installation (up to 4 bars)
- Non-slip floor treatment application
- Shower seat installation or evaluation
- Faucet and control accessibility review
- Lighting upgrade recommendations
- Post-installation safety check
Enhanced lighting system
Inadequate lighting contributes significantly to fall risk, yet most homes rely on lighting designed decades ago. Our lighting program addresses both quantity and quality of illumination.
We install motion-activated pathway lights that illuminate automatically when movement is detected, reducing the need to navigate dark spaces. All fixtures are selected for appropriate color temperature and minimal glare.
Includes:
- Complete home lighting assessment
- Motion-activated pathway lights (up to 6 units)
- Bedroom and bathroom night lighting
- Glare reduction modifications
- Switch placement optimization
- Emergency backup lighting
- Energy-efficient LED upgrades
Emergency response coordination
Personal alert systems provide critical support when incidents occur. We handle the complete setup process, from device selection through family notification protocols.
Your system connects to 24-hour monitoring services that can dispatch help immediately. We test all equipment thoroughly and ensure everyone involved understands how the system functions.
Includes:
- Personal alert device (pendant or wrist-worn)
- Base station installation
- Connection to monitoring service
- System testing and demonstration
- Family notification setup
- Emergency contact documentation
- Written usage instructions
Monthly monitoring fees apply separately, typically $35-50 AUD per month depending on service provider.

Mobility pathway optimization
The layout of furniture and objects creates invisible pathways through your home. When these pathways include tight clearances, awkward turns, or obstacles, collision risk increases.
We analyze traffic flow patterns and reorganize spaces to create safer movement routes. This often requires minimal physical changes yet produces substantial safety improvements.
Includes:
- Movement pattern observation
- Clearance measurements throughout home
- Furniture arrangement recommendations
- Doorway width assessment
- Threshold evaluation and modification
- Storage accessibility review
- Implementation assistance
Quarterly reassessment program
Safety needs change over time as physical abilities evolve and home conditions shift. Our quarterly program provides ongoing monitoring with adjustments as circumstances change.
Each visit includes reassessment of previously identified risks, evaluation of any new concerns, and updated recommendations. Family members receive written reports after each visit.
Includes:
- Quarterly on-site visit
- Updated risk assessment
- Seasonal adjustment recommendations
- Equipment functionality check
- Written report to family
- Priority scheduling for modifications
- Telephone support between visits
Billed quarterly. Annual commitment recommended for continuity of care.
