Our environment can significantly influence our health and well-being. It can pose a risk, inhibit or support our ability to function and remain safe. This month HS for MS is focused upon promoting a safe home. It is built upon the principles of adapting the environment to match everyone’s individual needs. A safe home has the benefits of: •
Facilitating universal access – not only for people with MS but their family, friends and guests
•
Enhance abilities
•
Maximise efficiency
•
Reduce falls and injuries
•
Reduce fatigue by decreasing our energy expenditure
•
Cater for any planned/unplanned events such ageing or having children
•
Optimise health and well-being
