“The Age Safe America Senior Home Safety Specialist course is extremely well organized and presented. There is a large amount of valuable information, but breaking the course into modules by topic makes it easy to take, even with short windows of available time. The instructor’s clarity and pace are both excellent, and it is easy to pause or replay to further enable the student to learn at their own pace. The content is validated with independent supporting data, which enhances its value. I highly recommend this course for anyone interested in helping a senior maintain their quality of life by taking the proper steps to live safely in their home.” – Gregory McIntosh, Healthcare Industry

“While I came to this course with some knowledge of my own, I was thrilled by how much valuable information I gleaned from every single module in this program. I took copious notes, and frequently paused to rewind a video so that I didn’t miss some gem of a detail. I had no idea how much there was to know! The details concerning fall prevention and fire safety alone were worth the cost of the course. I’ll never look at a house or property the same way again. For practice, I did assessments of my own house and my parents’ house, and was both appalled and elated–appalled by the sheer number of hazards that I’d never noticed and elated that I knew how to correct them. Thank you, Age Safe America! The course actually exceeded my expectations, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who works with older adults or with home safety in any capacity.” – Margalo Eden, owner Eden Aging Well Consulting

I also have a deeper respect for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia and realize how small changes in the home can help them in their incredibly difficult time. – Matt Reid, Mobility Plus/Specialist
