Why should older adults pay for HomeSafe services when they are healthy?
The HomeSafe health managers are nurses with clinical expertise in the care of older adults. These health managers provide individual assessment and teaching that will help the person remain as healthy as possible. Most older adults have chronic health problems or concerns and having the knowledge and assistance of a health professional can result in an improvement in health for the client. Injuries occurring in the home are a major reason that many older adults have to leave their homes. HomeSafe completes a home assessment at least twice yearly to address safety issues. In addition, HomeSafe nurses assist older persons and /or families in arranging services to help elders remain safely in their homes. HomeSafe also provides services and assistance that enhance the quality of life for elders, such as transportation to local arts and entertainment programs or sporting events. This allows the older persons to remain active and engaged in social events they enjoy.
