Home Safety Assessment

When should I get a home safety assessment?

A home safety assessment can be helpful before a problem occurs or after a change in health, mobility, or function.

You or a loved one may benefit if you:

• Have fallen or had a near fall

• Feel unsteady when walking

• Have difficulty getting in or out of a chair, bed, shower, or bathtub

• Have difficulty managing stairs

• Use a cane, walker, or wheelchair

• Are returning home after a hospitalization, surgery, or rehabilitation stay

• Have experienced a change in strength, balance, vision, mobility, or cognition

• Have a neurological condition that affects movement or safety

• Are considering whether you can continue living independently at home

• Have family members or caregivers who are concerned about safety

  You do not need to wait until after a fall to make your home safer.

Planning to age in place?

You don't need to have a current injury or diagnosis to benefit from a home safety assessment.

A Home Safety Assessment from Rehab Health 360 looks at how you move through your home, complete everyday activities, and interact with your environment. Our goal is to identify practical changes that can improve safety, confidence, independence, and quality of life.

At Rehab Health 360, home safety is about more than preventing a fall.

We want your environment to help you continue doing the things that matter to you—getting ready in the morning, making a meal, moving around your home, spending time with family, getting outside, and remaining as independent as possible.

Safety creates confidence. Confidence supports movement. And movement helps you continue participating in life.

What to Expect

One of our rehabilitation professionals visits you in your home and looks at you, your activities, and your environment together.

Rather than simply giving you a checklist, we observe how your home works for your individual needs and routines.

We may assess:

Getting Around Your Home
Walking pathways, flooring, rugs, furniture placement, assistive devices and obstacles.

Stairs & Entrances
Steps, railings, thresholds, lighting and getting safely in and out of the home.

Bathroom Safety
Getting on and off the toilet, stepping into the shower or bathtub, grab bars, seating and other safety needs.

Bedroom Safety
Getting in and out of bed, nighttime mobility, lighting and access to the bathroom.

Kitchen & Daily Activities
Reaching, carrying items, meal preparation and performing everyday tasks safely.

Balance & Mobility
How you walk, turn, transfer and move through your actual home environment.

Lighting & Visibility
Areas where poor lighting, contrast or visibility may increase risk.

Home Setup & Fall Risks
Clutter, cords, rugs, furniture placement and other environmental concerns.
