Home Safety & Modification Evaluations

Small changes at home can make a big difference. A physical therapist walks through your home and recommends practical changes that help you stay safe and independent where you live.

What we look at

  • Entrances, steps and stairways
  • Bathroom: tub, shower and toilet
  • Bedroom and nighttime paths
  • Kitchen reach and counter heights
  • Lighting and light switch access
  • Floors, rugs and clutter

Common recommendations

  • Grab bars by the toilet and in the shower
  • Shower chair or tub transfer bench
  • Raised toilet seat or safety frame
  • Handrails on both sides of stairs
  • Night lights and brighter walkways
  • Ramps or wider doorways for wheelchairs

What to expect

  1. Home walk-through. We watch how you move through your daily routine.
  2. Clear recommendations. You get a simple list of changes, from quick fixes to bigger projects.
  3. Practice and training. We help you and your family use new equipment safely.

Most older adults want to stay in their own homes as long as possible, but many homes aren't built for changing needs. A home evaluation helps you stay independent longer. Medicare Part B accepted.
