Colorado Springs, CO, October 16, 2026 – Rob Nightshade, of Best Construction Brands, is now one of a select group of professionals nationwide to earn the Senior Home Safety Specialist® designation, identifying him as having obtained the knowledge necessary to help educate older adults and family members on the serious issues of home safety, fall prevention, personal safety and financial exploitation.
This comprehensive course offers the only designation of its kind to individuals in the senior services industry. Graduates include occupational/physical therapists, home care providers, aging-in-place professionals, contractors, senior living staff, EMS professionals, caregivers and others committed to assisting seniors to stay safe in their own homes.
Approximately one-third of adults age 65 years or older fall in their home each year, resulting in injury, long-term disability and premature loss of independence. By 2030, the CDC estimates the cost related to these injuries to be nearly $100 Billion a year. In an effort to help reduce and prevent falls and their associated costs, Age Safe® America developed this program as a way to help professionals educate older adults and families to make preparations now to ensure ongoing freedom and independence.
Accidental falls have become epidemic in America. Every 11 seconds an older adult is treated in an emergency room for a fall-related injury, and every 19 minutes an older adult dies from a fall. Today seniors are living well into their 80’s and 90’s. Many are capable of maintaining independence but need to be sure their home environment is safe. Millions of boomers with aging parents worry about falls and want to know their loved ones are safe.
Aging is a natural part of life. As we grow older, we start to lose strength and mobility. Some tasks that were once easy become difficult. Rob Nightshade shared this advice: “If you or someone you love is facing these natural challenges, it’s important to contact Best Construction Brands to perform a safety audit of your home and provide solutions to safety problems you may have. A thorough inspection will help us create a plan of necessary modifications to make your home safer and more comfortable for daily activities, ensuring you or your loved ones age in place long into the future.”
According to an AARP survey, nearly 90% of seniors have stated a strong desire to remain in their own home. Yet studies show that 85% have done nothing to prepare their homes for aging. Preparation is the key to successfully age in place.
“I look forward to helping those endeavoring to age-in-place in Colorado Springs and across Colorado to make the necessary modifications and preparations they will need to live safe and secure in their own homes for as long as they wish,” said Rob Nightshade.
