Family Caregiver Today

Most home accidents involving aging parents don't happen

because of bad luck. They happen because of hazards that

have been hiding in plain sight for years — and nobody

thought to look.

In this episode, John Webb — a medical social worker with

over 20 years of care coordination experience in home health

care and hospital discharge planning — walks through the most

common home dangers that put aging parents at risk. From

loose rugs and poor lighting to kitchen hazards and bathroom

risks, this episode gives you a practical framework for

identifying what needs to change before a fall or injury

forces the conversation.

What you'll learn:

— The most frequently overlooked home hazards in every room

— Why aging changes how your parent perceives their

environment

— The one conversation to have with your parent this week

— How to document and track safety concerns across

your family

This episode is part of Series 1 — Home Safety & Physical

Environment, a practical series designed to help families

identify and address physical hazards before a crisis

forces their hand.
