Safe at Home Program Evaluation 2023

DC Department of Aging and Community Living (DACL) collaborated with American University’s Department of Health Studies from July 2022- September 2023 to evaluate the Safe at Home (SAH) program. The overarching goal of the evaluation is to determine the reach, impact, and outcomes of SAH in reducing falls and fear of falls among clients, and to provide recommendations for how to structure the SAH 2.0 program for continued success. This evaluation addresses three research objectives: 1) analysis of SAH program data from Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-2022; 2) methodology for collecting phone survey data, and 3) results from clients who completed SAH between October 2021-March 2022.
