Home Safety

Community Home Elder Safety Solutions, or CHESS, is a University of Nebraska Medical Center student organization with the goal of benefiting older adults in Omaha by reducing the rate of falls and injuries. Student volunteers use a checklist to look for safety hazards in the home and recommend changes. The (CHESS) group is providing free home safety assessments for older adults in the Omaha area.
