Montgomery Services
Home Safety Check Program
An increasing number of seniors are choosing to make their homes accommodate their changing bodies instead of moving to assisted living or retirement communities. Making adjustments means residents can remain in their current homes longer.
The Montgomery Fire Department has developed a Home Safety Check Program to assist those who want to age in place. As adults age, they have a higher risk of being injured at home and needing assistance during an emergency. This safety program is intended to evaluate safety and environmental risks and hazards in homes while educating owners on best practices and other services available to them.
With a comprehensive four-page safety checklist, the evaluating personnel will review recommended safety standards for the home with the homeowner or family member. These recommendations will be given to the residents to help them stay safe and healthy in their home longer.
For more information on the Home Safety Check Program and to schedule a review, contact Assistant Fire Chief Ben Shapiro at 513-985-1631 or email him at bshapiro@montgomeryohio.org. This program is a part of the WeThrive! Initiative.
