IF TRAGEDY COULD HAPPEN TO WALT DISNEY’S MOTHER, IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOURS

We remember Walt Disney as the wonderful man who made us smile. He was on TV welcoming and entertaining our families on Sunday nights. He was creator of some of the happiest places on earth. Yet, he was haunted with the burden that the home he and his brother, Roy bought for their parents killed his mother and almost killed his father. Neal Gabler, in his book ‘Walt Disney’, relays the story of the home the Disney brothers bought for their parents. One of the features that sold them on that home was a wonderful “modern furnace.” As soon as their parents moved into the home, the furnace began to malfunction. Walt sent a maintenance person from his studio to repair the furnace but the repairs were not properly made. Soon after, Flora, his mother died in that home from carbon monoxide poisoning. The furnace was defective and the Disney maintenance person did not properly repair it.

Each member of our management team and many of our inspectors have their own story and is dedicated to keeping seniors safe in their homes.

What we do in the Home Safety Network Program is not just a job; it is a passion and a mission.
