Senior Programs
Falls are the most significant safety issue faced by
seniors. They are the leading cause of hospital
admission and unintentional injury death for seniors.
Preventing falls and fire-related injuries for the
nearly 30,000 seniors in the city of Peoria is a top
priority for the Peoria Fire Department. As such, the
community services department offers Home Safety Visits
for Peoria seniors.
The Home Safety Visit program sends trained volunteers
to your home to provide education on fire and home
safety issues, check your home for potential hazards and
provide you with community resources. Volunteers will
help check your smoke detectors, change the batteries if
needed and install smoke detectors if you dont have
them.
This is an educational program and is not meant to
replace a professional home inspection.
To sign up for a Home Safety Visit, or if you are
interested in becoming a trained volunteer please call
Tim Eiden at 623-779-7919 or e-mail
tim.eiden@peoriaaz.gov.
The City of Peoria also offers senior safety group
presentations. Call to schedule us at your next meeting.
