In this episode of the Simplify Senior Transitions Podcast, I’m joined by Martin Simenc, Founder and President of Home Safety Services — one of the earliest pioneers in the home modification industry for aging adults.
Long before “aging in place” became a national trend, Martin was helping families transform their homes into safer, more accessible environments. With over two decades of leadership in the space, he shares the journey of growing a mission-driven company, the most impactful safety upgrades families can make, and how thoughtful modifications can preserve independence, prevent falls, and improve lives.
If you’ve ever wondered when — or how — to make a home safer for a senior loved one, this episode is your roadmap.
📌 What We Cover:
- How Martin built a home safety company before aging in place was mainstream
- The top modifications that dramatically reduce fall risk
- What families should look for in a home evaluation
- When home modifications aren’t the right fit — and what to consider
- Funding programs, including VA benefits and community grants
- Why empathy, collaboration, and education are at the heart of Martin’s work
