How it works

Show us the home. Get a clear plan for what to do first.

Lantern Years helps families move from worry to action: answer a few guided questions, share photos, get clear priorities, and turn the plan into tasks someone can own.

01

Tell us what feels harder

Choose a starting point and answer simple questions about routines, rooms, recent changes, goals, and worries.

02

Share home details and photos

Share photos and everyday details so the plan reflects the real bathroom, bedroom, stairs, entry, and walking paths.

03

Prepare the home plan

Your answers and photos are turned into home setup priorities, routine guidance, caregiver notes, and practical next steps.

04

Licensed therapist review

When included and appropriate, a Wisconsin-licensed occupational therapist reviews the plan before your family receives it.

05

Family follow-through

The plan becomes owner-ready tasks, timing, caregiver guidance, contractor questions, equipment notes, and follow-up.

What makes this useful

The plan tells the family what to do next.

A family can leave with top priorities, caregiver guidance, contractor questions, owner assignments, and plain language about when local in-person help is the better next step.

Built around daily life

The plan looks at bathing, toileting, stairs, entries, nighttime paths, caregiving, and the routines that matter most.

Photos make advice specific

Photos help show what is actually happening at home, so the plan is not generic.

Caregiver-ready guidance

Helpers see how to cue, assist, communicate, and avoid taking over more than needed.

Family-ready tasks

Recommendations become owner-ready work with timing and plain-language next steps.

Clear when more help is needed

If the situation needs in-person therapy, medical care, or a contractor visit, the plan says so directly.
