Grant Overview
Delaware faces a significant barrier to healthy aging in place: home safety hazards. According to the state's health department, falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults, with many incidents occurring in the home. Sussex County, Delaware's most rural area, has some of the highest rates of falls among seniors, highlighting the need for targeted interventions. Unlike neighboring states, Delaware's small size and relatively homogeneous population create a unique environment for addressing home safety. The state's economic reliance on finance and healthcare influences the availability of resources for seniors. Delaware's population density varies across the state, with urban areas like Wilmington having different challenges compared to rural areas. To address this barrier, potential grantees must demonstrate an understanding of Delaware's specific home safety challenges and the capacity to partner with local health organizations. Successful applicants will need to show how their home safety assessment programs will identify and mitigate hazards, particularly in high-risk areas like bathrooms and kitchens. The funding prioritizes organizations that can leverage existing community resources, such as the Delaware Healthy Aging Initiative, to support seniors. Key considerations include the ability to navigate Delaware's regulatory environment governing home health services and the capacity to integrate home safety assessments with existing healthcare providers. Delaware's infrastructure, including transportation networks and broadband availability, also impacts the delivery of home safety services. ## Home Safety Barriers in Delaware ## Addressing Fall Risk in Delaware's Senior Population ## Delaware's Approach to Healthy Aging in Place
