'Make it Safe! A Family Caregiver's Home Safety Assessment Guide for Supporting Elders@Home' by Rae A. Stonehouse is a resource for family caregivers aiming to provide a safe living environment for elders aging at home. Drawing from his 40-year experience as a Registered Nurse, particularly in mental health and working with the elderly, Stonehouse provides practical advice and safety tips to support semi-independent living for elders.

The book highlights the importance of creating a secure living space, reflecting the idea that caregiving is a family effort, akin to a village raising a child. It includes a home safety inspection sheet, allowing caregivers to assess and improve home safety.

Addressing various aspects of elder care, the book offers strategies for rectifying potential hazards in the home. It also covers driving safety for elders, financial scams targeting the elderly, and maintaining overall health and welfare. The book is particularly timely considering the Covid-19 pandemic, as many families seek alternatives to institutional care for their elderly loved ones.

'Make it Safe!' serves as a comprehensive guide for those adapting their homes to support an elder family member, ensuring safety and independence. It also comes with a companion workbook for added support in caregiving tasks.
