Is Your Home as Safe as You Think?
A room-by-room home safety audit covering fire safety, bathroom hazards, kitchen risks, entry security, and emergency preparedness.
Most accidents happen at home. This audit walks you through the most common hazards room by room. Answer honestly to get a clear picture of where your home stands and what to fix first.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common home safety hazards?
The top hazards include missing or non-working smoke detectors, bathroom slip and fall risks, poor lighting at night, kitchen hazards like items stored too high, and unsecured entry points. Most of these can be fixed affordably in a single weekend.
How often should I review my home safety?
Review your home safety setup at least twice a year. Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors monthly. Update emergency contacts annually. Check grab bars, handrails, and nightlights for secure installation every few months.
What should I fix first if my score is low?
Start with fire safety (smoke detectors and a fire extinguisher), then bathroom safety (grab bars and non-slip mats), then lighting (nightlights in key areas). These three areas address the most life-threatening hazards and are relatively inexpensive to fix.
How can ImAlive help with home safety?
ImAlive provides daily check-ins. If you have an accident at home — a fall, a kitchen injury, or a medical emergency — and you can't respond to your check-in, your emergency contact is automatically notified. This is especially important for people living alone.
