The goal of HomeSafe is to advocate for clients and then to maintain health, safety, and quality of life in their homes as long as possible. HomeSafe also emphasizes maintaining communication between the older persons and their children who live out of town by providing regular communication. 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. 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. The older adult is often cautious about spending money. They are unlikely to pay for services that will enhance their health and quality of life.
