We Support Senior Independence

Most seniors want to remain safely and comfortably in their own homes for as long as possible.

ABOUT OUR PROCESS

Our Nurse Handyman Fall-Prevention Service helps seniors and their families take proactive, affordable and practical steps to support safety, confidence, and independence—without pressure or obligation.

In these uncertain economic times, it is vitally important to preserve your assets, including the biggest asset that you accumulated during your working years – your home. The average monthly cost of basic independent living in Colorado is $3,000. These costs are not covered by Medicare or Medicaid and can quickly deplete the assets you worked a lifetime to build. Your home is your security in so many ways.

Insitu (in-sit-you) is a medical term meaning “in its proper place.” Our guiding mission is to keep you in your proper place, your own home. We’ll look at everything in your home environment and your health to help keep you there.

INSITU IS IDEAL FOR:

Pre or Post Surgery Home Preparations

Preparing a home before major surgery or recovery after a fall...
Major health events, like hip, knee or shoulder surgery, can have a negative impact on independence. Prevention is the best medicine. Proper home modification before or after major surgery can aid in recovery and help prevent further complications that could result in loss of independence.

Guidance for Supporting
Aging Parents

Adult children who want to help their aging parents but don’t know where to start...
Aging parents can often become good at masking what’s really happening at home, especially if they live alone or far away from other family. They may feel shame or guilt after a fall. They don’t want to be a burden on their family and don’t know where or how to ask for help. We approach every client with compassion and without judgement.

Affordable Alternative to
Delay Assisted Living

Families seeking supportive alternatives when the cost of assisted living or nursing home care is too high...
Before considering a move into independent or assisted living, consider how simple, affordable, evidence-based changes to your existing home and environment may keep you there longer.

Need for Objective Assessment For Loved Ones' Living Conditions

Families wanting an honest, third-party fact-based opinion on whether it is safe for their parent or relative to stay in their home or whether other options should be considered...

What makes Insitu Health Services unique is our ability to assess the whole person and their whole individual environment, often called the holistic approach. Together with our clients, we then take the findings to put that assessment into action with thoughtful, affordable recommendations and hands-on home modifications, often the same day. No other fall-prevention assessment service is as complete and comprehensive as ours.

ABOUT OUR PROCESS

A Thoughtful Two-Part Approach to Fall-Risk Assessment.

Choose either one or both steps. You decide.

Both assessments take about an hour total to complete, depending on health and living conditions. Using a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, we visit with you in your home to get a full picture of what’s going on and how we may help. No need to travel to another appointment. Preliminary assessment results are discussed with you on the day of your appointment. The formal assessment results that you can take to your health provider and share with your family are both emailed and mailed to your home soon after the visit.

We'll Identify and Recommend Actionable Measures

This personalized review helps identify simple, meaningful changes that can support safer daily living. Start a conversation with your healthcare provider.

  A GREAT TOOL FOR YOUR DOCTOR

Our health assessment will make your next doctor visit more productive. Practitioners are often pressed for time during busy office visits. We’ll take the time to figure out what matters most and summarize it into a format your healthcare provider can use. You’ll have better conversations at your next checkup when they know what’s really going on

  • Outdoor and garage safety
  • Stairs and entryways
  • Identify obstacles

There is no obligation to use our handyman services.

Clients may use their own trusted handyman or choose ours—whatever feels right. Clients receive a detailed and prioritized list of recommended safety fixes even if you don’t use our handyman services. Choose only the services that fit in your budget and lifestyle. Our no-pressure service allows you to schedule handyman services at the time of assessment or schedule for a later date. We guarantee our work for one year after service – and aim to make it right the first time.

  TECH FOR INCREASED SAFETY

Modern technology can be confusing and hard to use. Technology can also help you stay in your home longer and make you safer. We can help you set up ride share services like Uber or Lyft that you can take to your next appointment and be less dependent on the kindness of your family or neighbors. We’ll show you how to set up and use wearable modern fall detection devices. Some devices can even call 911 for you if a fall is detected. The future of safety is here!

After your assessment, you will receive a clear and prioritized list of recommended safety improvements that you can act on at your own pace. Select only what fits your budget and lifestyle, and schedule services when it works best for you, whether right away or at a later time.
