Started out good, but did not go through all the rooms. Focused on durable medical equipement use which was OK, but could have used more emphasis on what seniors can do to promote safety in mobility around their homes in all rooms. What about stairs? Music was irritating. Pace too slow. Not worth $20.

I bought several DVD’s for my clients. The information provided is extremely helpful especially for families and caregivers of seniors. The video/DVD is presented very well and addresses so many things that family members and caregivers are not informed about when it comes to providing a safe environment. Nursing homes and long term care facilities would definitely benefit by utilizing this video/DVD for inservices in their facilities. Fall prevention is so vital when caring for seniors. There are too many that die as a result of a preventable fall. The video/DVD is in demand since there is not much information available to educate those caring for seniors. It is definitely worth the $20 to help prevent so many unnecessary falls.

I am actually purchasing my 2nd copy of this video. The first in a VHS format (still available) and now in DVD. Contrary to the other review, I believe this video to be extremely helpful. Not only does it provide helpful information on how to keep your home “senior” safe, the information is easily accessible for re-reviewing whenever you want. A relative (who I am buying this copy for) had a professional in-home assessment and it cost her over $100 and then she didn’t remember a lot of the information. This is a great bargain at under $20!
