Safe Homes for Seniors

Ms. Khawla Al Kaabi, Head of the Seniors Department at FDF, addressed the ‘Guide to
Preparing Safe Homes for Seniors’ during the session. According to Ms. Al Kaabi, the guide
addresses the urgent need for senior-friendly living spaces that encourage their independence while
minimising everyday hazards such as falls or accidents within their homes. The ultimate goal, she
affirmed, is to enable senior citizens to live safely and comfortably in their own homes.

She provided a detailed overview of the guide prepared by FDF, which offers practical guidelines
and technical standards to assist families and caregivers in making necessary changes to their
homes. This entails improving lighting, rearranging the flooring, and adding support handles in
key areas like hallways and restrooms. It was noted that the guide includes recommendations that
align with global best practices, reflecting FDF’s broader mission to create an integrated,
sustainable care system that ensures the overall well-being of seniors.
