Aging in place and home safety
Aging in place means the home still works as you change. The visit looks at the bathroom, the bedroom path, lighting, rugs, and the tasks that have started to feel risky.
Who this helps
- You want to stay in your home and the house is fighting you
- A parent is less steady and the family is worried
- The bathroom or the stairs is the hard part of the day
- You want a practical list, not a remodel sales pitch
What a visit includes
- A walk through the rooms used every day
- Recommendations for rails, seating, lighting, and clutter
- Practice with the setup you already have
- Notes a family member in another state can understand

Questions
Do you install grab bars?

Is this only for people who have fallen?
