Fall prevention and safety of the home environment become paramount in an age-in-place home.  Many people think that safety is just about putting grab bars around the house, but it is really more than just grab bars. For example, one of the many things that people may overlook is as simple as lighting, the risk of falling increases when there is inadequate lighting, and with all the new technology available, a smart home system also helps to reduce the risks of falling when moving around your home.
