Senior Home Safety Modifications

Aging in place takes planning and a little elbow grease

 

A 2020 survey from the National Institute of Ageing and Telus Health found that 91 per cent of Canadians of all ages, and almost 100 per cent of Canadians 65 years of age and older, plan on supporting themselves to live safely and independently in their own home as long as possible.

But here’s the problem: a large majority of older adults have done NOTHING to prepare their homes for aging in place.

At Porchlight Home Services, our goal is to get and keep your home accessible, safe, and properly maintained for the long term by providing reliable home safety modifications and ongoing maintenance services.

 

“What a load off our minds.”

I can’t get on a ladder anymore so we were always asking around for someone who could do small things around our home. Now that we’ve contacted Porchlight, we don’t have to worry about finding someone to keep up with repairs, seasonal maintenance, or change a light bulb in the ceiling fixtures. Porchlight has made it so easy to maintain our home!
