Obstacle removal in the district of Sierre
DomusHelp helps organize practical support to reduce obstacles inside the home in the district of Sierre. This subcategory concerns elements that obstruct or make everyday movement riskier: a slippery or raised rug, a cable on the floor, a box, shoes, a poorly placed small piece of furniture, a low object that is hard to see, a cluttered threshold, unstable decoration or a passage that is too narrow on frequently used routes. The interventions must remain light, non-medical, non-structural, without heavy work and respectful of the person’s habits. No personal object should be thrown away, moved permanently or made inaccessible without clear agreement from the person concerned or, where necessary, their representative.
What this help covers
This help may concern the removal, moving or light reorganization of elements that obstruct movement in the home, especially in the entrance, corridor, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen or night-time route. It may also include grouping small objects, clearing access to a door, light switch, window, walking aid or telephone, as well as reporting an area that would require a more qualified intervention. The aim is to make passages easier to read, limit tripping risks and preserve useful reference points for the person, without imposing an abrupt or destabilizing rearrangement.
Preferred providers
Insured interior safety service
Suitable for clearing passages, removing or moving small obstacles, grouping cables with simple accessories, repositioning a risky rug or improving indoor movement without work and without a complex technical intervention.
Occupational therapist or health professional
Suitable when the person uses a cane, walker or wheelchair, has already fallen, shows loss of balance, disorientation or a need that goes beyond simple practical tidying.
Craftsperson, property manager, caretaker or local mover
Suitable when a heavy piece of furniture has to be moved, flooring has to be handled, a threshold has to be modified, a cable route has to be fixed, a building element has to be treated or the rules of a building or rental property have to be respected.
Before the intervention
- Walk through the usual routes with the person, without deciding only from the outside.
- Identify the most sensitive areas: entrance, corridor, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, bed, toilet and night-time route.
- Ask which objects have emotional, practical, cultural or religious value, or serve as daily reference points.
- Obtain clear agreement before moving, removing, grouping or making a personal object less visible.
- Plan where moved objects will be stored so that a new obstacle is not created elsewhere.
- Check that doors, exits, walking aids, care access, telephones and emergency access remain clear.
- Refuse the intervention if the object is too heavy, unstable, fragile, dangerous or if the situation requires medical or technical judgment.
- Limit any photo or note to what is strictly necessary, with agreement, especially in a private or sensitive home.
What DomusHelp does not cover
- Clinical assessment of fall risk, medical diagnosis or prescription of a technical aid.
- Work on electricity, flooring, thresholds, stairs, structure or fixed building elements.
- Sorting, donating, selling, eliminating or disposing of personal objects without explicit consent.
- Moving heavy, fragile or valuable furniture without a suitable provider and sufficient insurance.
- Changing important reference points for a disoriented person without consultation with relatives or relevant professionals.
