Home Safety & Accessibility
Empowering Older Adults to Live Safely and Confidently at Home
Make Your Home Safer, Before a Fall Happens
Is your home environment safe and accessible? Falls are a leading cause of injury in older adults and often signal deeper mobility or cognitive challenges. Falls can potentially lead to:
Hospitalizations
Caregiver burden
Inability to live independently
Overall decline in health
But you can proactively prevent falls and other dangers from occurring: our expert home safety and accessibility assessments support older adults in living safely, comfortably, and independently at home.
What We Offer
Our licensed occupational therapist conducts a virtual or in-person assessment of both the home environment and the individual’s physical, cognitive, and emotional needs within the context of their daily routines. Our services are designed to reduce the risk of falls, enhance daily function, and bring peace of mind to families and caregivers.
What We Assess
- Fall hazards (Mobility, balance, strength)
- Cognitive concerns (e.g., judgement, memory loss)
- Emotional concerns (e.g., isolation, anxiety)
- Accessibility barriers (stairs, bathrooms, entrances) and home safety hazards
- Performance of daily tasks
- Use of assistive technology, home equipment and mobility aids
- Community resources (home care, food delivery, yard care, professional accessible home renovation contractors)
- Decision-making support: Modify or Move?
You’ll receive a personalized report with practical, prioritized recommendations

No matter the setting—a house, condo, apartment, or cottage—our goal is to make your space safer, more functional, and better suited to your needs, now and in the future.
