SAFE-D: The Five Risks That Matter Most
for Aging in Place

Five Risks, Two Services, One Plan

Safety Isn’t One Thing—It’s Five.

Falls, fires, medication issues, social isolation, and driving risks are the biggest threats to older adults' independence—but most are preventable. Limitless Living Solutions helps seniors stay safe, confident, and independent at home, while Limitless Driving Solutions provides expert guidance for safe driving, on-road evaluations, and planning for driving retirement—covering all five SAFE-D™ risk areas: 

Slips & Falls, Alerts & Fire Safety, Food & Medications, Engagement & Connection, and Driving

Stay Safe at Home with Limitless Living Solutions.

  • Falls: 1 in 4 adults over 65 falls each year.
  • Medication: Taking 5+ medications increases the risk of medication errors and falls.
 

Falls, fire hazards, risks associated with medications, social isolation, and normal changes in aging can lead to serious injuries, hospitalizations, and loss of independence—often leading to lost independence, and stress for families. The good news? Many of these risks are preventable.

Limitless Living Solutions helps older adults stay safe, confident, and independent at home through personalized occupational therapy that addresses falls, fire safety, medications and nutrition, engagement and connection, and overall health. Our

SAFE-D™ approach combines home safety, strength-building, and practical strategies to protect independence and peace of mind.

With occupational therapy support, you can reduce the risks of falls, fire hazards, medication errors, and social isolation through personalized home assessments, balance and strength exercises, and practical strategies—helping you stay safe, confident, and independent in your daily life.

Limitless Living Solutions provides occupational therapy services designed to help older adults remain safe, independent, and engaged at home. We proactively assess risks such as falls, medication safety, fire hazards, and loss of daily function—and partner with families to address them early.

Limitless Driving Solutions offers specialized driving evaluations, on-road assessments, and transition planning to support safe mobility and independence as driving needs change.

Drive Safely with Limitless Driving Solutions.

  • Americans now live an average of 7–10 years beyond their ability to drive safely (AAA, 2021).

 

 

That’s why driving assessment is becoming an essential part of aging well—just like planning for finances or healthcare.

With occupational therapy support, you can prepare for the road ahead through education, screenings, and strategies to stay safe while driving—and learn alternative transportation options for when it’s time to stop.

A driver rehabilitation specialist is an occupational therapist with advanced training in assessing and supporting safe driving. At Limitless Driving Solutions, we provide personalized driving risk assessments and behind-the-wheel evaluations in your own environment. Whether you need recommendations and training on adaptive equipment or step-by-step guidance on planning alternative transportation, we are here to help.

 

Our goal is simple: identify risks, strengthen driving skills, and build a clear plan for safe driving—or guide a smooth, supported transition into driving retirement—when the time is right.

Connect and Get started

Let's start with a conversation.

 

We begin with a complimentary 20-minute phone consultation to understand your concerns and goals. During this call, we explain the evaluation process, review provider referral requirements, verify insurance or private pay details, and outline anticipated costs.

After the call, we send secure intake paperwork to gather medical history and background information. Once forms are returned, we schedule your evaluation at a time that works for you — with flexible scheduling options to accommodate work, caregiver availability, and energy levels.

Comprehensive in-home Evaluation

We come to you.

Using evidence-based assessments, we evaluate the person, the home, and the daily activities that matter most — whether that’s fall prevention, home safety, medication routines, or maintaining independence and social connections.

For driving evaluations, clinical testing is completed in the home and the on-road assessment occurs in familiar driving environments in our adapted vehicle to ensure safety.

You’ll receive a clear written report with individualized recommendations, practical strategies, equipment options, and next steps.
