IN-HOME SAFETY

By entrusting the care of your loved one to KHOBCARE, you will have an extra pair of eyes looking for safety hazards. An accident could occur as a result of something as simple as extra clutter on the floor or dim lighting in the hallway. In-home risks are especially prevalent among caregivers, and they can assist in minimizing them.

• Food Safety: We train caregivers to be vigilant when handling, preparing and distributing snacks and meals.
• Fall Prevention: The risk for falls is unfortunately high amongst the senior population. Specially trained caregivers detect these risks and find solutions before they become a problem. We also conduct complimentary in-home consultations prior to service to identify any possible hazards.
• Emergency Preparedness: In order to reduce the risk of a fire, there should be a regularly-checked smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector in the home, as well as a fire extinguisher, preferably in or near the kitchen.
• Medication Safety: In-home caregivers specialize in providing support for seniors. One way is by reminding them to take their medicine to stay healthy along with any dietary considerations associated with medicine.

Appropriate supervision and in-home safety consultations can make it safer for seniors to live at home, and the risk of injuries can be reduced when the right steps are taken to improve safety where they live.
