Questions About This Resource
The audit walks through every room of the home - entrance, living room, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and outdoor areas. It identifies the specific hazards in each area and tells you exactly what to fix, in priority order. Bathroom hazards are evaluated first as they cause 80% of senior fall injuries.
No - the audit is designed for family members with no professional background. It gives you a simple checklist for each room, clear descriptions of hazards to look for, and plain-language recommendations. You can complete it in 15-30 minutes during a regular visit to your parent's home.
The audit produces a prioritized list of modifications. Start with the highest-priority items (usually bathroom grab bars and non-slip surfaces) and work down the list. Many items can be DIY. For structural modifications, get quotes from CAPS-certified contractors in your parent's city using our directory.
