The Age Safe® Home Score™
A mobile tool that turns a 240 point home safety assessment into a single number from 0 to 100. Walk the home with your phone, answer the questions room by room, and deliver a branded professional report before you leave.
Six weighted domains. Stairs carry the most weight, because stairs are where older adults get hurt. A missing life safety item caps the whole score, so a tidy kitchen cannot hide it.
Why families pay for it
Every score comes with a prioritized list of what to do about it. For a family that is peace of mind. For a handyman, a remodeler or an agency it is a work order, written by the person the family already trusts.
Life safety risks cap the score, so a serious hazard cannot be averaged away by a tidy kitchen. The number the family sees is honest, which is why they act on it.

From people who took it
We conduct home assessments when we take on a new client, but it isn’t as in-depth as what was provided during this training. I am excited to be able to promote our Home Assessment feature as a Certified Senior Home Safety Specialist.
I have been an OT for 25 years, home health for the past 10. I have been performing home safety assessments for years and this course added to my tool box. I highly recommend it to any new therapist treating patients in their homes.
I have been in the field of home accessibility for more than 10 years. This course refreshed the key items and introduced areas I was uneducated in. I would highly recommend it to people new to the field and to those with years of experience like myself.
I have been a home health care owner in NJ for 20 years and this course was a great refresher. I will be adding the home safety assessment to my initial consultation.
This is a great course and it fills in some gaps in my knowledge as a realtor and renovator working with senior clients.
I will use my certificate to offer the service of assessing homes for safety. Whether I perform the installations or not, the assessment is valuable for the client.
Dad is 81 with Parkinson’s and wants to stay home and independent as long as possible. The assessment was very thorough and eye opening, and she made sure everything got done. Things for Dad are now much easier.

Twelve questions about a real home, answered from memory. It shows the kind of risk a certified specialist looks for, how fast it surfaces, and how one missing life safety item puts a ceiling on everything else.
It is a preview, not an Age Safe® Home Score™. A real Home Score comes from the 240 point assessment, run in the home by a certified specialist in the Age Safe® app.
Stairs and hallways
A preview only. It counts twelve answers evenly. The Age Safe® Home Score™ weights each room by injury risk and applies safety caps, across 240 points.
