Safety for Seniors

Senior Fall and Injury Prevention - Multiple page document that outlines safety for stairways, outdoor and living areas. Also includes a TVFR medical emergency card. 

Step-Smart Tips for Seniors - Fall prevention tips for seniors (Bilingual).

 Medical Emergency Card - TVF&R emergency response personnel are trained to look for this card when they respond to a medical emergency at your home. This card alerts the responder to what medications you are taking and any medical conditions they need to be aware of when providing emergency services. 

These cards are available a variety of ways - you can print one, call us at (503) 649-8577, email us with your request, or visit one of our various Community Partners who offer these cards at their locations - all free-of-charge to our service area residents.

If you live outside the TVF&R response area, your emergency responders will not be trained to look for our card; therefore, please contact your local emergency responding agency to determine what program they are using in your area.

Check with your local City or County agency for additional tips and assistance. Agencies within the TVF&R service area:
