🍂 It’s National Fall Prevention Week! 🍂

Falls are one of the most common causes of injury among older adults — but many falls can be prevented by making a few simple changes at home.

🏠 That’s why Solon Senior Support created SAFE AT HOME.

Our free program helps Solon-area older adults identify potential fall and safety hazards in their homes and provides personalized recommendations and, when appropriate, free safety items to help make their home safer.

We look at things like:
✔️ Tripping hazards
✔️ Lighting
✔️ Stairs and railings
✔️ Bathroom safety
✔️ Medication information
✔️ Emergency preparedness
✔️ Other areas that could affect safety and independence

The goal isn't to tell you what you're doing wrong — it's to help you stay safe, independent and confident in your own home. ❤️

Fall prevention starts at home.

If you or someone you love could benefit from a Safe at Home visit, contact Solon Senior Support to learn more.

Its that time of year when you should change out the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide. Your Solon Fire Fighters offer a Battery Up program to our senior residence, and disabled individuals within our service area that we will come to your residence and change out the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. We will be providing this service on Saturday October 17, 2026 starting at 8am that day. If you are in need of this service please contact the Solon Fire Department via e-mail at [email protected] with your name, address and contact info. If you do not have access to email call 319-624-2386 ext. 2208 and leave us a message with your name, address and a good contact phone number.
