Fall is a good time for a home safety check.

Before the weather gets colder, take a look at:

🟢 Outdoor walkways
🟢 Entrance steps
🟢 Handrails
🟢 Lighting
🟢 Loose rugs
🟢 Bathroom safety

A few minutes of prevention today can help reduce the risk of a fall tomorrow.

CHATS' Home Adaptation & Maintenance Program can help eligible older adults address home safety needs. https://chats.on.ca/home-safety-services/home-adaptation-maintenance-program/

Sometimes independence looks like knowing what you don't have to do alone.

Keeping up with household tasks can become challenging over time.

CHATS Home Help provides support with everyday household activities, helping eligible older adults remain comfortable in their own homes.

The goal isn't to take over.

It's to help make everyday life manageable. https://chats.on.ca/in-home-services/home-help/

Caregiving can be rewarding. It can also be hard.

You can love someone deeply and still feel tired.

You can be grateful and still need a break.

You can want to help and still need help yourself.

All of those things can be true at the same time.

CHATS supports caregivers with services and resources designed to help them continue their caregiving journey while caring for themselves, too. https://chats.on.ca/support-for-caregivers/

Sometimes the first step is simply asking for help.

Clutter and hoarding behaviours can affect safety, relationships and housing stability - and it can be difficult for someone to know where to turn.

CHATS' Tenancy Risk Reduction Services Program works with eligible older adults to address risks and support safer living environments. Learn more here: https://chats.on.ca/home-safety-services/hoarding-de-cluttering-support-program/

There is help. There is hope. And there is no shame in asking.

What happens when transportation becomes a barrier?

An appointment gets missed.

Groceries become harder to get.

A visit with family gets postponed.

A favourite activity becomes impossible to attend.
