Frequently Asked Questions
What do you check?
Trip hazards, lighting levels, grab rail needs, clutter, rug safety, step visibility, electrical hazards, and general fall risks. A thorough walk-through of the home.
Do you fix things you find?
This is an assessment - we identify issues and give you a report. We can then quote to fix anything you want addressed, or you can use the list yourself.
Is this like an OT assessment?
Similar focus on safety, but we're looking at practical fixes rather than clinical needs. We identify what can be improved and how.
Will you recommend expensive changes?
We focus on practical, affordable improvements. Simple things like rugs, lighting, and clutter often make the biggest difference. Not everyone needs a stairlift.
