HOME SAFETY FOR AGING ADULTS — KING COUNTY, WA

THE SITUATION

They want to stay in their own home.

 

That's a goal worth protecting with a real plan, not wishful thinking.

Most families start planning after a fall. This is how you start before one.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS

Up to 70% of home falls are linked to identifiable hazards.

 

That means most are preventable. But only if someone who knows what to look for, and who to look at does the looking.

THE PATH FORWARD

One assessment. A clear plan. Peace of mind.

 

In-person · King County, WA · 90 minutes · Written report within one week. Scheduled within 1–2 weeks of contact.

THE QUIET WORRY

You noticed it. And now you can't stop thinking about it.

A slight stumble over the rug. A hand reaching for the counter that didn't used to need to be there. A pause at the top of the stairs that's become routine.

You haven't said anything yet. Neither have they.

But you know what a fall could mean, beyond the injury. The emergency room.

The decisions made under pressure. The difficult conversation about whether staying home is still an option.

Most families wait until something happens. Then they're making those decisions in crisis.

A home safety assessment is what you do before that, when there's still time to be thoughtful about it.

WHERE IT HAPPENS

Up to 77%

Of all falls occur at home (King County adults 65+). 60% of these falls are fatal. 

THE PREVENTABLE PART

50–70%

Of those falls are linked to identifiable home hazards. More than half. Which means a significant portion of falls aren't inevitable, they're just unaddressed.

WHAT'S AT STAKE

Leading cause

Falls are the leading cause of losing independence in older adults. Not illness. Not cognitive decline. A single fall can change an entire life trajectory.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

This isn't someone walking through the house looking for rugs to remove.

Most home safety visits are environmental checklists. They look at the space and miss the person entirely, which means they miss a lot. Fall risk isn't just in the environment. It lives in the body too - in how strength and balance have shifted, how cognition affects reaction time, how anxiety about falling actually changes the way someone moves.

 

Between 50% and 70% of home falls are linked to identifiable hazards, but "identifiable" only counts if the person doing the identifying knows what they're looking at, and who they're looking at it for.

 

This assessment looks at both.
