Reduce risk of injury
1 in 4 adults over 65 fall each year, leading to emergency room visits (NSC Injury Facts, 2020). Falls are the leading cause of death for this age group.
Spring is a great time to make adjustments to you home, or an older parent’s home to reduce the risk of falls.
TIPS ON HOW TO CLEAN FOR A SAFE HOME:
Secure or remove loose rugs or mats that are trip hazards.
Treat slippery surfaces to prevent slipping.
If your tiles are slippery, reduce the amount of cleaning detergent you are using or switch to an alternative brand. See our natural Floor Caremade with Australian Eucalyptus.
Prioritise cleaning clutter from hallways, entrances, pathways & stairs.
Secure your cords! Cords are a major trip hazard – even for those of us that can jump quickly. Tack cords to skirting or even re-route them to eliminate the risk.

Omicron Logistics Status Update | 12th Jan 22
The rapid spread of the Omicron variant has further impacted the logistics industry. This includes many courier drivers, warehouse staff, forklift drivers, container unpack crews and administrators.
Due to the widespread impact of Omicron infections, our partnered carriers across the network are experiencing both a surge in parcel deliveries and major disruptions to their delivery services. With a significant number of people in self-isolation in accordance with state regulations and public health orders, delivery delays are expected across the network due to driver shortages, depots experiencing temporary closures and/or operating with significantly reduced staff.
This has also created some lags in tracking details being updated on carrier websites.
Please allow (at least) an extra 14 business days on top of your estimated date for arrival.
Your patience and understanding is appreciated.
