Welcome to Senior Safety Guide
Welcome to Senior Safety Guide
Hello, and thank you for visiting our website.
We’re Michael and Avril Collinson — born in 1943
and 1939 and together we’ve spent more than
eight decades navigating life’s many chapters,
from raising a family to adapting to the changing
world around us.
Now in our 80s, we’ve come to truly appreciate the
importance of safety, independence, and peace of
mind as we grow older.
This website was created to share what we’ve
learned and to help others like us — or those
caring for older loved ones find clear, trustworthy
advice on staying safe at home and outdoors.
Whether you’re looking for tips on preventing falls,
choosing mobility aids, or making your home safer,
you’ll find practical, experience-based guidance
here.
We’re not tech experts or salespeople — just a
couple who care deeply about helping others stay
safe and confident in daily life.
If something here helps even one person feel safer,
it’s all been worth it.
Warm wishes,
Michael & Avril Collinson
