Houston, September 3, 2025 – The YC Foundation is proud to announce that Renee Danielle has officially earned the Senior Home Safety Specialist® designation, joining a select group of professionals nationwide dedicated to protecting older adults in their homes. This certification identifies Renee as having the expertise to help educate seniors and families about critical issues such as home safety, fall prevention, personal safety, and financial exploitation.
What the Senior Home Safety Specialist® Designation Means
The Senior Home Safety Specialist® program, created by Age Safe® America, is the only designation of its kind in the senior services industry. Graduates include home care providers, occupational and physical therapists, aging-in-place professionals, contractors, EMS workers, and other caregivers who share a common mission: keeping seniors safe and independent in their own homes.
With this certification, Renee Danielle expands YC Foundation’s capacity to provide trusted home safety evaluations and evidence-based solutions for families in the Greater Houston area.
Why Senior Home Safety Matters
Accidental falls have become a public health crisis in America. Consider these alarming statistics:
- Nearly one-third of adults age 65+ experience a fall at home each year.
- Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in an emergency room for a fall-related injury.
- Every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall.
- By 2030, the CDC estimates the cost of fall-related injuries will reach $100 billion annually.
Falls often lead to injury, long-term disability, or premature loss of independence. And yet, according to an AARP survey, while 90% of seniors want to age in place, 85% have not prepared their homes for aging.
Preparation is key—and that’s where YC Foundation steps in.
