ome Safe Home is a complimentary program provided by Scottsdale Fire Department to help keep older adult residents safer in their homes. Trained fire department representatives visit seniors in their homes and point out potential tripping and falling hazards. They can replace smoke alarms batteries or install a new alarm (if it meets requirements) and give free nightlights to ensure you can see well at night. To request a home safety visit, go online to Scottsdaleaz.gov/fire/homesafe-home/home-safety-visit-request. FIRE SAFETY IN THE HOME Fire is fast, powerful and can be lethal. Three in every five home fire deaths resulted from non-working smoke alarms. We will help you improve your chances of preventing a fire and you will learn what to do if you have a fire in your home.
• You will learn EDITH (Exit Drills in The Home) for each frequently used room • Check that your windows and doors can be accessed for safe egress • Learn to “shelter in place” when exit is not possible • Help identify any potential fire hazards such as frayed electrical cords FALL PREVENTION IN THE HOME Research shows that 60% of older adult falls occur in the home and 1/3 of older adults 65 and over fall every year. Scottsdale Fire Department emergency calls average 200 per month for falls.
• Smoke alarms are essential – we will check placement of smoke alarms and change batteries if needed (only for ceilings under 10 feet) • Fire extinguishers are a big part of a safety program – we will help you find the best place to put one and how to use it
• We will evaluate your home for trip hazards and poor lighting • Check for bathroom safety such as grab bars • Make sure pathways are clear and your footwear is safe • Check your current medications so you can be alert to blood thinners that could make a fall much worse • We can provide information on available resources to help install grab bars or replace smoke alarms where ceilings are higher than 10 feet • You will receive a written list of our recommendations to improve the overall safety of your home
