What’s inside
- Entry and stairs: Clear walkways, lighting, handrails and a seat for shoes.
- Bathroom: Grab bars, tub transfer benches, shower chairs, raised toilet seats and mats.
- Bedroom: Bed height, assist rails, leg lifters, security poles and dressing.
- Kitchen: Non-slip matting, prep boards, openers, easy-grip utensils and a perching stool.
- Living areas and lighting: Night lights on the bed-to-bathroom route, reachers and clear paths.
This checklist is general information, not medical advice. Ask an occupational therapist for a home assessment, especially if you need help to transfer, have movement precautions after surgery, or have a high fall risk.
