The Home Safety Walk-Through: 10 Spots to Check in Your Aging Parent's Home

Is your parent's home as safe as you think it is?

Most falls that injure or hospitalize older adults happen at home — in familiar rooms, on ordinary days. The problem isn't carelessness. It's that families stop seeing the hazards that have always been there.

This free 15-minute walk-through guide takes you room by room through the 10 highest-risk spots in your aging parent's home. No overwhelm. No jargon. Just clear, practical checklists you can use this weekend.

What's inside:

✅ 10 room-by-room checklists (bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, entryway, hallways, living room, medications, lighting, emergency prep, and outdoors)

✅ "Quick Win" labels for the easiest, lowest-cost fixes

✅ A Pro Tip for every room

✅ A simple prioritization guide — so you know where to start first

This guide is for you if:

• Your parent is living alone and you worry when you're not there
• You've had a recent scare — a near-fall, a hospital stay, or a new diagnosis
• You want to have a calm, practical conversation with your parent about safety
• You're a caregiver who wants to feel prepared, not panicked

100% free. No catch. Just practical help from one caregiver to another.
