Fall prevention in the district of Brig
DomusHelp helps organise practical support to reduce the risk of falls at home in the district of Brig and Upper Valais. This subcategory concerns small everyday adjustments: obstacles on the floor, slippery rugs, cluttered passages, insufficient lighting, simple supports, thresholds, stairs, bathroom and night-time movement. Interventions must remain simple, non-medical, non-structural and adapted to the home.
What this help covers
This help may concern identifying risk areas in the home: poorly secured rugs, cables on the floor, obstructive furniture, passages that are too narrow, lack of light, difficult thresholds, slippery floors or night-time movement that is not sufficiently safe.
Preferred providers
Occupational therapist / home adaptation specialist
Suitable when a person has a repeated risk of falling, loss of mobility, a hospital discharge or a need for a more complete assessment of the home.
Insured small repair service
Suitable for small practical adjustments: removing an obstacle, securing a non-slip rug, improving a passage, installing a simple support or securing a light element.
Supervised local support
Suitable only for very simple actions: moving a small piece of furniture, clearing a passage, tidying a cable or improving immediate visibility.
Before the intervention
- Identify the places where the person walks most often.
- Check sensitive areas: entrance, corridor, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and stairs.
- Identify rugs, cables, thresholds, furniture corners and objects on the floor.
- Observe whether lighting is sufficient, especially at night.
- Ask whether there has already been a recent fall or fear of falling.
- Refuse any intervention if the risk goes beyond a simple practical adjustment.

- Installation of heavy or structural equipment.
- Electrical, plumbing or masonry work.
