Ross County S.H.I.P. Program
The Senior Home Inspection Program is a FREE home safety service offered to all Ross County
seniors, ages 60 years and over regardless of income.
S.H.I.P. is a voluntary service that provides a free home safety inspection to identify features
in your home which might make your residence susceptible to burglaries, fires, or injuries due to falls.
Qualified law enforcement officers, firefighters, retired or experienced service professionals and occupational
therapy student interns will collaborate to conduct the inspections. They will then advise you of the steps you
can take to remove or reduce hazards which put you at risk. In some cases S.H.I.P. volunteers will install
safety devices, which at no
cost to the participant that will help the senior be safer in their home.
