Home hazards are among the mostpredictive risk factors for falls in community-dwellingelderly people, together with fall history, gait deficit,balance deficit, mobility impairment, fear, visualimpairment, cognitive impairment, and urinaryincontinence (NICE, 2013). Important modifiableenvironmental risk factors include lighting, stair andbath rails, clutter, gait aids, and wet surfaces. It seemsonly reasonable to modify the home environment toprevent or decrease the number of falls. Futhermore,unlike interventions that target health and behavioralfactors, environmental modification has the potentialto decrease the risk of falls for every person using thesafer environment (Fabio, Chaudhury, 2008).Although some studies focus on modification of thehome environment to prevent falls, this is a criticallyneglected area of research. In their systematic review,Hignett, Edmuns Otter, Keen (2016) conclude that ashomecare becomes more common, there is a need toensure the safety of both patients and caregiversthrough increased understanding of the physical
