The checklist Reduce Risks at Home is a practical tool for discussing safety hazards at home and supporting client counselling. It helps identify potential risks in the home environment and assess what changes could promote safe mobility in everyday life. The checklist supports fall prevention and provides a structured way to discuss mobility and physical activity.
The checklist guides users in reviewing different areas of the home. Attention is drawn to factors such as lighting, slip and trip hazards, accessibility of walkways, and the availability of support and safety solutions.
The checklist is based on the KAAOS study (2014), which examined factors in older adults’ everyday environments that increase the risk of falls. The material is part of the KaatumisSeula tools, which provides tools for identifying fall risk, discussing falls and mobility, and preventing falls.
