Fall Prevention Home Inspections | Genesis Healthcare System

Genesis Emergency & Trauma Services is offering free home inspections throughout Muskingum County. Trained inspectors will assess homes for potential fall hazards. Program will make residents aware of potential fall hazards – like tripping on throw rugs or falling off step stools. The majority of falls happen to seniors living independently in their own homes – so being able to impact their safety while in their homes will potentially help prevent traumatic injuries. Community members who have their homes inspected will be eligible for one grab bar installed or one nightlight, free of charge. Grab bar installation will be available to any home with at least one person more than 65 years old.
