What is the first step in making a home safe for aging in place?
The most common mistake is buying individual products before understanding which changes will have the biggest impact. A professional home assessment by a certified aging-in-place specialist (CAPS) produces a prioritised modification plan specific to the person and the property. Many modifications cost far less than expected — and are more effective than generic senior safety products.
