 | What does it do?The project has been in existence for over 5 years and provides practical help in preventing accidents and particularly falls in older
people in the following ways:
Advice booklet called "FALLS" and how you can avoid them". A new issue has just been published and we are looking for people having contact with older people to help in distribution.
Talks/presentations on accident prevention, crime prevention, general safety and the work of Age Concern Dudley delivered to groups, luncheon clubs or organisations.
Handyman scheme whereby small aids and adaptations, e.g. grab rails, additional stair rails, bathing aids etc. can be arranged.
Upgrade of security, fitting of window locks, door chains, door viewers etc. arranged in areas where crime is prevalent or the occupier is
particularly vulnerable. |
