Home oxygen therapy can be fatal if oxygen safety precautions in the home are not taken into consideration. Oxygen safety in the home is essential for oxygen users.

General fire safety procedures should be followed in accordance with state laws. You should always notify the local fire department when a new oxygen therapy patient receives their oxygen tanks at the home.

Safety in the home for elderly is a concern for many people around the world. Many seniors prefer to live at home as long as possible as opposed to an assisted living center, or nursing home facility.

Living at home is comfortable, and gives seniors independence. Living at home is also the best option financially, as most seniors are on a fixed budget. Fees for assisted living, and nursing home centers can range anywhere from $30,000 to $70,000 per year.
