Health starts at home.
Homes are the foundation for a good healthy life, and when homes are of decent quality, the comfort and security they provide enrich our lives and support our mental and physical health.
'Healthy homes' is all about trying to improve the things in our homes that may affect our health and wellbeing. Here you will find information, tips, and guidance to help guide you in taking practical steps to maintaining a healthy home.
Healthy Homes Checklist
When looking at a new home, especially if you have never rented or owned a home before, it can be difficult to know what to look for. The Healthy Homes checklist can help you decide whether a potential new home would be a healthy place to live. It can also be used to check a home that you already live in. The checklist is a quick breakdown of some of the most important factors in making sure a home promotes good health and prevents accidents, injuries, or illness.
