Our Mission
Aging-in-Place Industry Leader in the TEXAS Big Country
We see ourselves primarily as Hazard Hunters and then as Action Planners. Using a multi-point Home Safety Assessment, we identify hazards in the home and develop a prioritized action plan to address them. We also offer a series of follow-up visits to ensure peace of mind.
Here’s a sampling of the issues addressed during our home assessment:
• Fall prevention myths and solutions
• Fire safety precautions and solutions
• Aging-in-Place home modifications
• Mobility and accessibility issues
• Home and Senior Safety Technologies
• Considerations for Alzheimer’s/Dementia
• Crime prevention and personal safety
• Senior exploitation, identity theft, and scams
• Communication challenges
Beyond hazard assessments, we offer referrals to suppliers, designers, and builders who specialize in residential remodeling and Universal Design.
Each year, thousands of older Americans fall at home. Many of them are seriously injured, and some are disabled. In a single year, as many as 23,000 people over age 65 die and 2.4 million are treated in emergency departments because of falls.
Falls are often due to hazards that are easy to overlook but also easy to fix. Our 240-Point Home Safety Assessment (developed by Home Safe America) helps us find and fix those hazards before they become incidents.
6 Ideas for Reducing Fall Risk in the Home
1. Keep the Lights on
Insuffieient lighting increases fall risk when navigating the home in low-light conditions. So, keep the lights on even during the day. For nighttime navigation, install nightlights that will illuminate the path to the bathroom, and other important locations in the house.
People should be able to stay in their homes for as long as possible.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines "aging in place" as the ability to live safely, independently, and comfortably in one's own home and community, regardless of age, income, or ability level. One of the most significant threats to seniors' ability to age in place successfully is the risk of falls.
DigniSpace LLC is a training and services organization that offers a variety of resources, including fall prevention education, home safety assessments, advisory services for those choosing to age in place, and referrals to home modification contractors and other providers within the growing senior services industry.
