A safer home, on your terms
You know your home better than anyone. We help you see it the way a physical therapist would, so you can keep living there with confidence.
Is this for you?
- You have had a fall, a near fall, or you have started holding on to furniture.
- You are coming home from the hospital or rehab soon.
- Stairs, the tub, or getting up from a chair takes more effort than it used to.
- You depend on oxygen, a powered bed, or medicine that needs refrigeration.
- You are thinking about buying or moving to a new home.
What happens at a Home Safety Visit
Dr. L'HommeDieu comes to your home and spends about two hours with you. He watches how you get in and out of the house, the bed, the chair, the shower, and the car. He asks about your day, from the first trip to the bathroom in the morning to the last lock of the door at night.
We look at three things together: you, your home, and the people who help you. That is what makes this different from a checklist.
What you get
- A photo report of your home, with the concerns marked
- A prioritized list: what to fix now, within 30 days, and later
- Plain recommendations for equipment, lighting, and daily routines
- A follow-up call to answer your questions
You decide what to change. If you want work done, we can write exact instructions for the contractor you choose.
Want someone to hear the results with you?
Many people like a son, daughter, or friend to see the report. You can name them on our Release Authorization, and we will share it with them. You can change your mind at any time.
