Is your loved one’s home still safe?
As we get older, a home that once felt completely familiar can become more difficult to navigate.
Small issues such as loose rugs, poor lighting, difficult access or cluttered walkways can create unnecessary risks.
SilverCare’s Home Safety Assessment helps identify practical issues that may make everyday living more difficult or less safe.
What we look at
Our assessment can consider areas such as:
- Entrance and access to the home
- Walkways and potential trip hazards
- Lighting
- Stairs and steps
- Bathroom safety
- Bedroom access
- Kitchen layout and accessibility
- General household obstacles
- Other practical concerns affecting everyday independence
What happens after the assessment?
We provide practical observations and recommendations based on what we identify.
This may include suggestions such as:
- Removing or securing trip hazards
- Improving lighting
- Reorganising frequently used items
- Making everyday areas easier to access
- Considering appropriate household equipment or adaptations
- Arranging repairs or maintenance where necessary
Where a specialist assessment is required, we can recommend seeking advice from an appropriately qualified professional.
For families abroad
If you live outside Mauritius, it can be difficult to know whether your parent’s home remains suitable for them.
A Home Safety Assessment gives you a local view of practical issues that may otherwise go unnoticed.
Our objective
The goal is not to change how your loved one lives.
It is to help identify practical improvements that can make their home safer, easier to navigate and more supportive of independent living.
