A safe home can make a world of difference for supported living providers who are securing a safe and stable home for their semi-independent clients. It is more than just a place to live—it's a foundation for a stable, healthy, and fulfilling life. Here are 3 critical things semi independent tenants need: 1. Physical Security: Features like secure locks, accessible entryways, and emergency systems. For tenants with physical disabilities, modifications such as ramps, widened doorways, and handrails are essential for safe and independent living. 2. Emotional Stability: A safe home provides a sense of security and comfort, crucial for mental well-being. Knowing that the environment is adapted to their needs and that they are protected from external threats helps tenants feel at ease and reduces anxiety. 3. Health and Well-being: Safety measures prevent accidents and injuries, which are especially vital for those with mobility or cognitive impairments. Proper lighting, non-slip surfaces, and accessible bathroom facilities contribute significantly to a tenant's health.

Home is the where the heart is. Isn't that how the saying goes? So it is imperative that we do all we can to make the health and wellbeing of people a priority. And make room for better living! 👇The 'did you know' statistics detailed below (on our attached picture) shows that a battle is currently being fought. A battle to overcome fuel poverty and help people enjoy a more comfortable home life and environment. ➡ And, here's another 'did you know' moment! Westdale plays its part in that desire by providing retrofit and refurbishment services, which include external wall insulation. We work closely with local authorities, housing associations and principal contractors for both social housing and commercial properties. Not only does our work deliver aesthetically pleasing results, but also helps significantly lower electricity expenses and enhance energy efficiency, things that can boost a person's happiness and wellbeing. 😊 The positive health benefits associated with improving the insulation of the properties are potentially a reduction in conditions such as high blood pressure, heart attacks and pneumonia, which are all often associated with living in a cold home. People with existing health conditions such as circulatory or respiratory problems, diabetes, arthritis, depression and anxiety are also known to be especially vulnerable to the cold, as are children and the elderly. So a fully insulated home can be crucial to their health. Together with local authorities, fellow contractors and housing associations, we are determined to 'win the war' - and bring energy efficiency, sustainability AND wellbeing to the doors of as many people as we can! #externalwallinsulation #insulation #fightagainstfuelpoverty #localauthorities #housingassociations #wellbeing #warmhomes #sustainability #EWI #contractors

One area of the housing market that is often overlooked is adaptive housing - renovating a home to meet the specific needs of people who want to age in place, who are struggling with health challenges, or who are injured from an accident. Often times, aging, health, and accident related circumstances can leave a homeowner feeling like their only option is to move. But adaptive home renovations focus on delivering specific functionality and safety features, so people can continue to live an independent life in their own home. To learn more about adaptive housing for people who are dealing with accident and health related challenges, read our latest insight: https://zurl.co/rKDr

Indoor air quality is an overlooked aspect of resident satisfaction, but it’s a must if you want to retain happy residents. From cigarette smoke to humidity-induced mold, poor air quality can lead to health issues and increased resident turnover. The CDC reports that secondhand smoke exposure in multifamily housing affects 28 million Americans—leading to more legal disputes and health complaints each year. Investing in temperature and humidity monitoring devices can help you identify and address issues before they escalate. Being proactive is a win-win, it will improve resident health and reduce complaints—but also reduce the likelihood of costly disputes and repairs. https://lnkd.in/gi78q4uM In the end, a healthy home is a happy home.
