Home Safety & Fall Prevention

In-Home Assessments That Help You Stay Independent, Safe, and Confident

Most people want to remain in their own homes as they age—but safety concerns can get in the way. Columbine Home Care offers personalized home safety evaluations and fall prevention services designed to help older adults, families, and caregivers create a safer, more supportive living space.

Whether you’re planning ahead or responding to a recent fall, our team will help you take simple, meaningful steps to stay secure and independent—right where you belong.

What We Offer

Our in-home safety assessments are conducted by skilled professionals—such as registered nurses, physical or occupational therapists, or trained caregivers—depending on your specific needs. Services may include:

Fall Risk Assessments

Identifying personal risk factors like medication side effects, muscle weakness, or balance issues.

Home Safety Evaluations

Reviewing lighting, furniture placement, flooring, and more to spot hazards.

Mobility & Equipment recs

Suggesting grab bars, walkers, lift chairs, or other tools to support safer movement.

Daily Routine Planning

Simplifying bathing, dressing, and meal prep tasks to prevent strain or accidents.

Caregiver Training

Teaching safe transfer techniques, monitoring tips, and how to reduce risks during everyday care.

Who Can Benefit

You may want a home safety evaluation if you or a loved one:

  • Recently experienced a fall or near-fall
  • Were recently discharged from the hospital or rehab
  • Have mobility or balance challenges
  • Are living with dementia or memory changes
  • Use a cane, walker, or wheelchair
  • Want to age in place with greater confidence

Why It Matters

Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults—but many are preventable. A single in-home visit can:

  • Reduce the risk of falls and injury
  • Support faster recovery after illness or surgery
  • Extend the ability to live at home safely
  • Lower the cost and stress of emergency care or hospitalization
  • Provide peace of mind for families and caregivers
