How it works

How we help your parents age safely at home.

Your family shares the routines that have become harder and photos of the rooms involved. The result is a clear home plan covering safety concerns, room changes, caregiver support, and the situations that deserve local attention.

Answer guided questions

Share daily routines, recent changes, home setup, caregiver coverage, and the people who should be involved.

Share photos of the home

Show the rooms, routes, thresholds, stairs, bathroom setup, and other places tied to daily routines.

Occupational therapist review

A Wisconsin-licensed occupational therapist reviews your answers, home photos, routines, mobility concerns, and caregiver setup, and may ask for more details.

Your complete home plan

Understand needed equipment, home changes, safer routines, caregiver training, and what to watch for as needs change.

Put the plan into practice

Use the dashboard for caregiver guidance, equipment help, family tasks, and answers from licensed OT support.

Keep the plan working

Keep tasks, photos, reminders, caregiver notes, and updated next steps together with licensed OT support.

What you share

Daily routines and the home around them.

The best guidance comes from real routines: how someone enters the home, moves at night, bathes, uses stairs, carries items, and receives help. Photos show the setup, spacing, surfaces, and routes that words alone can miss.

What you receive

A home plan the family can discuss and use.

Lantern Years connects home setup, daily routines, caregiver coverage, recommended care level, equipment, contractor questions, and follow-through in one place. Reviewed plans add licensed occupational therapist judgment, with clear guidance when local in-person help is needed.

Stay-at-home feasibility

A clear Green, Yellow, Orange, or Red category with what needs to change before home can be relied on.

Caregiver coverage

Plain-language guidance for what family can do, what paid caregivers should cover, and what needs skilled follow-up.

Daily independence

Bathing, toileting, dressing, eating, transfers, walking, stairs, meals, medication routines, and overnight risk.

Home risk map

Room-by-room notes for bathroom setup, entries, stairs, night paths, lighting, floors, rugs, and furniture layout.

Recommended care level

A practical starting point for family help, paid care, skilled home health, or medical follow-up.

When home is no longer safe

Specific thresholds that tell the family when more care or a different setting may be needed.

Everything in one place

Support that stays useful as needs change.

The dashboard keeps recommendations, task owners, caregiver guidance, photos, and updates together. Ongoing Support keeps next steps current when the home or routine is still changing.
