When you’re concerned about an older adult at home, it can be difficult to know what deserves attention and what doesn’t.
A CornerStead Senior Safety Assessment takes a practical look at the areas your family member uses every day to identify safety concerns, document what we find, and help you understand what should happen next.
Starting at $249
You don’t need to be planning a renovation or making a major decision about the home.
A Senior Safety Assessment can be a useful starting point when you’ve noticed changes, have concerns about falls or everyday activities, are helping a parent from a distance, or simply want another set of trained eyes on the home.
The goal is straightforward:
Find concerns early. Understand what matters. Know what to do next.
Adult children and other family members may live hours—or states—away from the property.
Cornerstead can provide local fact gathering and documentation so the people responsible for the property have a clearer understanding of its condition and needs.
Photos, findings and recommended next steps provide a common reference point for conversations among family members and professionals.
Steps, walking surfaces, railings, lighting, thresholds and the path into and out of the home.
Handrails, stair conditions, lighting, transitions, clearances and other conditions that may affect safe movement.
Tub and shower access, support, flooring, toilet use, lighting and other common bathroom safety concerns.
Everyday access, reach, walking areas, lighting and conditions that may make routine kitchen use more difficult.
Walking paths, furniture arrangement, lighting, floor transitions and access to frequently used areas.
Steps, access, walking surfaces, storage conditions and other relevant concerns in regularly used spaces.
Smoke and carbon monoxide protection, lighting, trip hazards, emergency access and other observable safety concerns.

When does this matter?
We help distinguish concerns that deserve prompt attention from improvements that can be planned or conditions that simply need to be monitored.
What should you plan for?
When appropriate, findings include a practical planning range to help you understand the likely scale of the expense before you begin requesting estimates.
Who should handle it?
Not every concern requires a contractor—and not every concern should be handled by a general handyman. We identify the type of resource best suited for the next step.
A long checklist of observations can leave a family with more questions than answers.
CornerStead adds practical context to the findings so you can understand what deserves attention and how to approach it.
Your assessment includes documented findings and recommendations organized to make the next decision easier.
You’ll receive:
The report is yours to use when talking with family members, contractors, healthcare professionals, or other people involved in decisions about the home.
An estimate answers:
“What will it cost to do this work?”
A CornerStead assessment starts earlier:
What is the concern?
How important is it?
What should happen next?
Who is best suited to handle it?
CornerStead’s job is to assess and explain—not to create unnecessary projects.
If work is recommended, you can use your findings to seek estimates and choose how you want to proceed.
A Senior Safety Assessment focuses primarily on safety concerns in the home today.
Sometimes the bigger question is:
“How well will this home continue to work as needs change?”
CornerStead’s comprehensive Aging-in-Place Assessment goes further, considering safety, accessibility, everyday use, changing needs and potential improvements throughout the home.
It is designed for older adults and families who want to make a more comprehensive plan for remaining at home.
Choose an available appointment and provide us with some basic information about the home and your concerns.
