Light levels
Stairs, entries, and the night path — measured against what aging eyes need.
Aging in place, made practical
Home Safety & Accessibility in Connecticut.
We walk the house with you — or with the family arranging care — and turn what we see into a written list with a flat price for every fix. You choose what happens, and when.
Written list, flat prices — yours to keep and pace

Doors & hardware
Stiff knobs and heavy doors eased for arthritic hands.

Built for Connecticut's older homes
The hazards here have addresses.
In Wethersfield and Farmington, the beautiful old stairs are also steep and narrow, with rails that stop two steps short. In New Britain's triple-deckers, the bathroom moved upstairs decades ago and the lighting never followed.
The walkthrough names these plainly — no scare tactics, no sales pitch. You get a written list with a flat price beside every line, and you decide the pace. Plenty of families fix two things this year and two next.
Two honest boundaries: this is not a medical or clinical assessment, and nothing on the list is obligatory. For mobility equipment placement, we defer to your clinician and install to their guidance.
What you get afterwards
- A written, prioritized fix list
- A flat price next to every line
- The walkthrough credited if you book the work
The most-booked follow-ups are grab bars and night-path lighting — often in the same visit.
Common questions
About the safety walkthrough.
Is this a medical assessment?
No — and we're careful about that line. We identify home hazards and fix them. Clinical judgment stays with your clinician or OT.
Do we have to fix everything on the list?
Not at all. The list is yours to keep and pace. Start with the bathroom and night path; come back for the rest whenever.
Can my out-of-state daughter join the walkthrough?
Yes — by speakerphone or video. Many families do the whole walkthrough as a three-way call, and the written list goes to everyone.
