Every year, approximately one-third of adults 65 or older fall in their home, and half of those over the age of 80 fall annually. Falls result in injury, long-term disability, and premature loss of independence.
The good news: most falls are preventable with the right home safety strategy.
A licensed Occupational Therapist walks every room with you, evaluating fall risks, lighting, flooring, bathroom access, mobility paths, and assistive devices. You’ll receive a written report with prioritized recommendations — from no-cost daily adjustments to larger projects like grab bars, better lighting, and zero-threshold showers.

A licensed Occupational Therapist walks every room with you, evaluating fall risks, lighting, flooring, bathroom access, mobility paths, and assistive devices already in place. You receive a written report with specific recommendations prioritized by risk.
Typically 90 minutes to two hours, depending on home size and the individual’s mobility status. The conversation with the older adult and family is as important as the visual inspection.
Recommendations range from no-cost adjustments (removing throw rugs, rearranging frequently used items) to modest installations (grab bars, better lighting, shower seating) to larger projects (zero-threshold showers, stairlifts). We help you sequence by impact and cost.
Proactive home safety assessments are generally not covered by insurance. However, there are some instances where you may qualify for another program that we can recommend for you.
