The Home Fall-Prevention checklist
You cannot fix what you have not noticed. The Home Fall-Prevention Checklist is a 30-minute walkthrough that shows you what to look at, what to fix first, and what it will cost.
Download this free resource and check off what is already safe and what needs to be added to the to-do list.
What you’ll discover inside the guide
There is no shortage of fall-prevention advice online. Most of it tells you to reduce clutter and improve lighting, which you already knew and cannot act on. This is different in six ways.
It is specific
Every line is something you can see standing in the room, not a principle to interpret. You either have it or you do not.
It ranks the risk
Not everything matters equally. The guide flags the two rooms where most falls actually happen and tells you to start there.
It scores the house
You finish with a number and a plain reading of what it means, so you know whether this is a weekend project or something to handle today.
It has real prices
Every common fix is priced, plus a note on what long-term care policies, Medicare Advantage, and your Area Agency on Aging sometimes cover.
It gives you a script
The hardest part is raising it with a parent who does not want help. There are two openers that work and one sentence that ends the conversation.
It is built on the clinical guidance
Drawn from the CDC STEADI initiative and the National Council on Aging, then written so a family can use it without a clinician in the room.
