The Senior Home Safety Specialist® course empowers professionals with actionable ways to better help educate clients, older adults and their family members on the serious issues of home safety, fall prevention, financial exploitation and personal safety. This course offers the only certificate of its kind to individuals within the senior services industry. This 2-hour re-certification consists of a 13-module self-study educational program with a quiz after each section that participants must pass in order to continue.

BONUS: We added some Deeper Dive modules, an updated Technology module and another Home Walkthrough that are not included in the recertification, but extra knowledge for those that choose to view them.

The two main goals for annual re-certification are to encourage ongoing continuing education and to ensure practitioners maintain a level of knowledge, confidence and consistency in providing the full comprehensive home safety assessment. Upon successfully completing the course, you will receive an attractive Certificate along with a digital copy of the Senior Home Safety Specialist® emblem to use in your own marketing efforts.
