Home safety assessment

Find the home safety issues that matter first.

A home safety assessment should do more than list hazards. Lantern Years helps families understand how the home supports bathing, toileting, sleep, stairs, entry access, caregiving, and everyday movement.

A clearer first step before the family starts buying, guessing, or waiting.

Lantern Years turns home details, daily routines, and family concerns into an ordered plan that explains what to address now, what can wait, and when in-person help may be needed.

When to start

Useful when home is starting to feel harder.

Families do not need to wait for a crisis. A home plan can help when small problems are showing up in daily life.

There are worries about falls, rugs, cords, low lighting, stairs, or icy entry paths.

The bathroom, bedroom, hallway, or entry no longer feels easy to use.

The family is considering grab bars, shower seating, railings, or other home changes.

Caregivers need clearer guidance about how to help without taking over too much.

What the plan covers

Room-by-room guidance with family next steps.

Look at the rooms and routes where daily life is hardest, including photos when the family can share them.

Prioritize practical changes such as lighting, clear paths, safer transfers, supports, seating, and entry access.

Name the next steps, owners, timing, and situations where local in-person help should come first.
