Home Readiness Check
The room-by-room walkthrough for the question every family asks: "can they stay here, safely?" Walk the house once with this checklist, mark what needs attention, and get a printable to-do list with the guide for each fix. This is a practical safety walkthrough, not a medical or building-code assessment.

The readiness check map
The same checklist has two versions. Pick by what just happened, because a routine pass and a post-fall pass look at different risks.
- RoutineEvery few months, and after any big changeRun the routine pass after a new diagnosis, a new medication, a season change, or a move: it finds the quiet hazards before they become falls.
- After a fall or hospital stayRun the recovery pass before they come homeThe recovery pass adds mobility, medication access, and first-48-hours items: the exact risks that turn a hospital discharge into a readmission.
- Whatever the pass findsFix the top three, not everythingEach item links to the matching guide, and the home fall-prevention guide plus after-a-fall map cover the fixes that matter most.
- The honest limitThis is a safety walkthrough, not a medical or building-code assessmentIt will not catch every risk and does not replace a clinician or a qualified contractor: it is the practical family pass that runs in your browser.
How this works
Each item is a yes/no check from the site's home-safety guides. Mark "needs attention" for anything that is not already fine. The to-do list groups the items by room, links each one to the matching guide, and is built to be printed and handed to whoever will do the fixing. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.
