Aging in place checklist: living alone home check

About

Most home safety lists stop at rugs and grab bars. This free aging in place checklist adds the part that matters when you live alone: what happens after a fall. Answer a few optional questions and get a printable PDF. The first page is a plan for who notices, how you call for help, who has a key and how responders get in. The rest is a room-by-room checklist, with a numbered task for anything not done yet and a script for the calls some tasks need. It names programs for your state or province where we have them. Free, no signup, and nothing you pick leaves your device.

how does this checklist integrate with existing home safety tech or services out there?

finally some real talk about living alone, it’s nice to see a checklist that goes beyond the basics.
