Obstacle removal in the district of Entremont

DomusHelp helps organize practical support to identify, reduce or remove obstacles at home in the district of Entremont and Lower Valais. This subcategory concerns items that make movement difficult or create a fall risk in circulation areas: unstable rugs, visible cables, poorly placed small furniture, boxes, bags, shoes, low objects, cluttered passages or items temporarily left in a hallway, entrance, bedroom, kitchen or bathroom. The aim is to make passages clearer, calmer and safer, without medical intervention, without pressure on the person and without structural work.

What this help covers

This help may consist of clearing a hallway, making a passage safer between the bed, bathroom, kitchen and entrance, moving light objects, tidying visible cables without modifying the installation, removing or repositioning a dangerous rug, reorganizing a temporary drop-off area or freeing the access points used every day. It can also help distinguish what must remain accessible, what can be stored, what should be donated, recycled or removed, always with the clear agreement of the person concerned or their authorized representative.

No personal item should be thrown away, donated or moved permanently without clear agreement. Some objects have emotional or practical value, or serve as orientation markers. The intervention must preserve the person’s dignity, sense of safety and useful habits, especially in cases of fatigue, anxiety, cognitive fragility or a transition period at home.

Preferred providers

Insured interior safety service

Suitable for identifying simple obstacles, clearing passages, moving light objects, better organizing circulation areas and reducing visible risks without technical work.

Health-social professional or occupational therapist

Suitable when there are repeated falls, loss of independence, mobility difficulties, disorientation, discharge from hospital or a need for a more specialized assessment of the home.

Transport, clearance service or qualified local craftsperson

Suitable when heavy furniture must be moved, bulky items removed, a collection organized, insured work provided or dangerous handling avoided for the person and their relatives.

Before the intervention

  • Obtain the clear agreement of the person concerned and identify who may decide about sensitive objects.
  • Define the priority passages: entrance, bed, bathroom, toilet, kitchen, living room and night route.
  • Distinguish what must be moved, stored, kept, donated, recycled or removed.
  • Protect documents, medication, keys, payment means, memories and valuable items.
  • Check the weight, stability and volume of objects before any handling.
  • Avoid creating a new risk elsewhere with a cable, rug or piece of furniture that has been moved.
  • Never block exits, doors, windows, emergency access points, radiators or ventilation areas.
  • Plan a calm pace, especially if the person is anxious, tired or attached to their familiar markers.

What DomusHelp does not cover

  • Medical, occupational therapy or psychiatric diagnosis of fall risk or behavior at home.
  • Forced tidying, forced sorting or removal of objects without the clear agreement of the person concerned.
  • Moving very heavy furniture without a suitable provider, insurance and safe handling equipment.
  • Structural work: demolition, modification of thresholds, floors, walls, doors or fixed building elements.
  • Electrical work to embed, move or modify cables, sockets, switches or light fittings.
  • Handling severe accumulation of objects, unsanitary conditions, pests or hazardous waste.
  • Removal of documents, valuable items, medical equipment or memories without explicit authorization.
  • Any measure that restricts freedom of movement, removes essential orientation markers or takes away a useful aid without professional advice.
