SENIOR SAFETY SATURDAY (10/17/09)

•· 8 Volunteer Home Inspectors; 6 Participating Service Companies

•· 34 senior homes safety checked in one day

•· 106 Specific Safety Defect items reported (not counting recommended upgrades)

•· % of the homes' Safety Defects reported (not counting recommended upgrades)

Unfortunately, we were limited to the number of homes checked. We had many more requests then we were able to work into this year's program. We hope these seniors will try for next year's program or contact one of our professional Certified ASHI Home Inspectors to have their home inspected for safety hazards, sooner than later.

Thank you to all the participating professional home inspectors, service providers and the Loveland Fire Prevention Bureau.

Thank you to the people that helped get the word out and promote this annual public service program.
