Why an occupational therapist recommends this setup
Safe stair use depends on seeing the edge, placing the whole foot, controlling pace, and maintaining contact with a stable rail. An OT brings those pieces together and helps the family identify when the stairs may no longer be the right route.

Questions families ask
Is this the same as a medical evaluation?
No. These cash-pay safety setups are designed to help families reduce common home hazards and improve daily routines. They are not a substitute for emergency care or medical treatment.
Does this guarantee my parent will not fall?
No. No home setup can guarantee fall prevention. The goal is to reduce common hazards, improve safer routines, and help families make better equipment decisions.
Do you install grab bars or remodel bathrooms?
Lantern Years can provide placement guidance and help families understand what to ask an installer or contractor. Structural installation should be completed by a qualified professional.
Can I buy this after a fall?
Yes. These setups are designed for families responding to a fall, near-fall, hospitalization, or mobility change. If the person may be injured, seek medical care first.
Who designs the setup?
Setups are designed with occupational therapy-informed home safety guidance. The bundled home review adds more specific placement guidance for the room details and photos the family shares.
