For example, a house-fire and being able to get out quickly or preventing falls in accident-prone areas.

The many online dangers.
Risks on the internetWhen it comes to safety, another thing to go over is the internet that we all love to be on. It is great to be able to have Facebook and other forms of social media to stay close to family and friends. We will not only help when it comes to getting your online life going, we will also go over safe practices. This is to protect themselves from scams and risks which may jeopardize their personal information. Also, it can lead to unsafe communications or even effect their mental health and well-being.
We will do this by going over it with discussion and document what was gone over. Lasty, we'll discuss how your family member did with each safety procedure practiced.
