Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I do a home safety check?
Do a full room-by-room check at least twice a year — once before winter and once before summer. Test smoke detectors monthly and replace batteries annually.
What are the most important items on this checklist?
Grab bars in the bathroom, working smoke detectors, stair handrails, and nightlights between bedroom and bathroom. These address the most common causes of injury at home.
Can I print this checklist?
Yes. When you complete 100% of the items, a print button will appear. You can also use your browser's print function at any time.
Who should use this checklist?
Anyone living alone, especially seniors and people with mobility issues. It is also valuable for caregivers inspecting a loved one's home during a visit.
How much does it cost to fix common home safety hazards?
Most fixes are inexpensive. Non-slip mats cost under $20, grab bars are $20-50 including installation, and nightlights are under $10. Even a full home safety upgrade typically costs $200-500 — a fraction of a single fall-related hospital visit averaging $35,000.
