This coveted award is given to organizations that have demonstrated a system-wide commitment to obtaining the Senior Home Safety Specialist™ certification.
SARASOTA, FLORIDA, USA, August 19, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — Today Age Safe® America is honoring Mobility Plus® with its 100% Commitment award for their franchise-wide Senior Home Safety Specialist™ certification initiative. The comprehensive course empowers professionals with actionable ways to better help educate clients, older adults and their family members on the serious issues of home safety, fall prevention, modifications, crime prevention, dementia and personal safety. The course offers the only certificate of its kind to individuals within the senior services industry to help ensure seniors, veterans and those with disabilities remain safe and confident in their homes. As part of their ongoing commitment, all new Mobility Plus franchisees will be required to complete the certification as part of their onboarding training.
“Mobility Plus sees this certification as a valuable differentiator in the marketplace and has made the commitment to cover the cost for all our franchise owners. We feel this training will help put our team in a more consultative selling position, which provides our clients with a more holistic needs assessment, and positions franchisees as a greater resource to the family”, said Rich Peter, CEO Mobility Plus, LLC
One in four Americans has a disability, and mobility challenges represent nearly 14% of that population or 17 million people. Six million are veterans; and disabilities among veterans has increased dramatically (25%) since 2001. Limited mobility is caused by everything from accidents and disease to the aging process. Accidental falls among the elderly have become epidemic in America, and many older adults aging-in-place struggle with mobility issues. As the population ages, safety and accessibility in the home becomes even more important to maintain independence and reduce the risks of falls; most of which happen in and around the home.
“I really want to congratulate the Mobility Plus management team for their commitment to education and going one step further to cover the cost of training for its franchise owners. Their slogan ‘Go Where You Want to Go’ seems to fit well for both their customers and local franchise owners. Mobility is not a fad, and the Senior Home Safety Specialist™ designation is a perfect differentiator and entry into the $7 Trillion Longevity Economy”, says Steven Bailey, Founder/Managing Director of Age Safe America, LLC
