Safe Homes

Director of the Strategic Planning and Institutional Development Department at FDF, H.E.
Abdulrahman Al Balushi, discussed one of the key initiatives—the launch of the ‘Safe Home
Preparation Guide.’

He noted that the initiative aims to create a home environment that is safer and more comfortable
for seniors, accommodating their health and functional needs.

The guide also raises family awareness and encourages home redesign using modern technologies
that simplify daily life and enhance social stability.

H.E. Al Balushi explained that the modifications made to the bedroom are necessary, as it is the
place where senior citizens feel comfortable and relaxed.

Enhancements include slip-resistant flooring, support handles, adjustable bed height and the
positioning of an emergency call button or bell near the bed.

These simple additions are necessary to reduce the risk of unexpected accidents and to provide a
secure environment that meets their physical needs.
