Hazards


Prevent hazards in and around your home that can cause you to fall by maintaining your surroundings. Occupational Therapists provide assessments, training, and support to help you avoid falls.   Having a friendly visitor can help identify hazards and you can plan ahead by wearing a personal emergency/medical alert system.
