Home Safety & Access Assessment

A trained set of eyes inside the actual home.

Most home-safety advice online is generic. Real homes are not. We walk through the actual home your family lives in, note what is working, name what is not, and hand you a short written list of priorities you can act on with or without us.

What we look at

Room by room, top to bottom.

An assessment usually runs 60 to 90 minutes. Longer if there is a lot to talk through. Bring the person who lives here, and any adult child who wants to be in the loop. We are happy to loop in a sibling on speakerphone.

Fall and trip hazards

Rugs, thresholds, cords, uneven flooring, transitions between rooms, and the small edges people stop noticing.

Bathroom safety

Tubs, showers, toilets, floors, and where a grab bar actually needs to go (not where the towel bar happens to be).

Lighting

Night paths from bed to bathroom, hallway light levels, motion-triggered fixtures at entries, and mirror lighting.

Stairs and entrances

Interior and exterior steps, handrail integrity, tread condition, front-porch approaches, and back-door access.

Handrails and grab bars

What is anchored properly, what is decorative, and where new support would make the biggest difference.

Ramps and thresholds

Where a threshold change or a small ramp would remove a daily trip risk or a wheelchair barrier.

Mobility considerations

How a walker, cane, wheelchair, or recovering hip moves through the home right now, and where it gets stuck.

Smoke and CO alarms

Presence, placement, age, and battery status. We do not certify code compliance, but we flag what is missing.

General maintenance safety

Small maintenance items that become safety issues if left too long: loose railings, dead bulbs, sticking doors.

What it costs

A Home Safety & Access Assessment is a $699 value and is complimentary for Walton County homes through our Founding 100 offer. No obligation to buy anything after.

Where we go from there

Some families act on the list themselves. Others ask us to coordinate the work through licensed and insured independent contractors. Others sign on for ongoing membership support so the home stays safe over time.

Who conducts the visit

April Gloy, our founder, is a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist and a career social worker who has spent more than fifteen years inside skilled nursing environments and family homes. It is her walking through your parent's house, not a technician.
