Home safety assessments

Most homes were never built for getting older.

Stairs with no rail. A tub you have to climb into. A hallway that's dark at two in the morning. A specialist walks through with you, finds what's actually risky, and hands you a plain list of what to do about it. About an hour, and there's no pressure to buy anything.

What we look at

Room by room, the way someone actually lives in it

  • Where a fall would happen

    Loose rugs, raised thresholds, stairs without a good rail, and the bathroom, which is where a great many falls happen. We go room by room.

  • Lighting

    A hallway that's perfectly fine at noon can be dangerous at two in the morning. We walk the paths someone actually takes at night.

  • Getting around

    Doorways, door handles, counter heights, the front step. Measured against how this person actually moves, not a generic checklist.

  • Where technology helps

    And where it doesn't. Fall detection and motion lighting are worth it in some homes. In others, a grab bar and a better lamp are the whole answer, and we'll say so.

What to expect

Four steps, no surprises

1

Set up a time

Call or email. We'll ask a few questions about the home and about what's been worrying you.

2

Walk through together

A Certified Aging in Place Specialist goes through the house with you, at your pace. Bring every question you have.

3

Get a plain list

Clear recommendations, sorted by what matters most, with what each one costs. Nothing hidden, nothing upsold.

4

We do the work

Pick what you want done. We handle the installation, show you how it all works, and stay available afterward.

Certified specialists, not salespeople

Your visit is done by a Certified Aging in Place Specialist, who is trained specifically in making homes safer to grow older in. They will tell you what you need and what you don't, even when the honest answer is that you don't need us.

  • CAPS-certified assessment team
  • Executive Certification in Home Modification (ECHM) expertise
  • Personalized recommendations, never one-size-fits-all

Help paying for it

Staying at home costs a small fraction of assisted living, and a lot of these changes qualify for help paying for them. Most families have no idea this exists. We'll walk you through:

  • Grants and funding programs for senior home modifications
  • Tax credits and deductions you may qualify for
  • Long-term care insurance and Medicare Advantage coverage
  • Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers

Where we work

In-home assessments in two regions

Denver, CO

Lake of the Ozarks, MO

Somewhere else? Reach out anyway. Remote consultations are available, and we're expanding.

Then we make the changes

Grab bars and better lighting, and where it earns its keep, technology like fall detection, lights that come on by themselves, and door locks that don't need a key. We install it and we teach you how to use it, so it doesn't sit there unused.
