What your report looks like

Prioritized findings, not a generic checklist

Your report ranks every finding as Critical, Recommended, or Optional — so you know exactly where to start and what to budget. Each item includes a cost estimate and a plain-English contractor scope.

See a full sample report
CRITICAL

No grab bar — primary shower

60% of senior falls occur in the bathroom. A properly anchored grab bar at the entry and far wall of the shower eliminates the highest-risk transfer point.

Est. $280 – $450 installed

CRITICAL

Step at front entry — 7.5 in. rise, no railing

Single unprotected step at the primary entrance. A small landing ramp (4:1 slope, 36 in. wide) eliminates fall risk and meets ADA ingress requirements.

Est. $1,200 – $2,400 installed

RECOMMENDED

Master hallway width — 34 in. clear

Current 34-inch clear width restricts standard walker use. Widening to 36 inches minimum provides comfortable passage; 42 inches allows wheelchair use.

Est. $1,800 – $4,200 per doorway

OPTIONAL

Kitchen counter height — fixed at 36 in.

Standard height is manageable standing but restricts seated work. A 10-inch section lowered to 28–34 inches adds seated preparation flexibility.

Est. $600 – $1,400

Common questions

Aging in place assessment — FAQ

How is this different from a home inspection?

A standard home inspection assesses structural integrity and systems — not fall risks or accessibility. Our assessment specifically evaluates your home against ADA and CAPS standards for aging in place, with a modification plan an occupational therapist would recognize.

Do I need to be a senior to get this assessment?

No. Many of our clients are adult children arranging an assessment for a parent, family caregivers, or homeowners who want to plan ahead. Anyone who wants their home to work safely through the years ahead benefits from this assessment.

How does the floor plan scan work?

After you complete payment, we send you a secure CubiCasa scan link via email. You walk through each room with your smartphone — it takes about 20–30 minutes. CubiCasa produces a 2D floor plan and room measurements within 24–48 hours, which our AI then uses to generate your report.

Will I need to hire a contractor?

Only if you want to make the modifications. Your report includes a print-ready request-for-quote document you can hand to any licensed contractor — you choose who does the work and when. We don't place contractors or take a referral fee.

Can this be used by an occupational therapist?

Yes — OTs find this assessment useful as a pre-visit baseline or as documentation to support modification recommendations. The report cites standards (ADA, CAPS, ANSI) and includes cost ranges, which align with how OT modification recommendations are typically scoped.

Are there grants or funding programs that cover this?

Modification costs — not the assessment itself — may be eligible for VA HISA grants, Medicaid HCBS waivers, Area Agency on Aging programs, or NC Housing Finance Agency funding. Our Resources section has direct links to each program's eligibility details.

How accurate are the cost estimates?

Estimates are based on current regional contractor pricing ranges for each modification type. Actual costs vary with site conditions, materials, and the contractor you select. The report gives you a realistic budget range — not a guarantee.

What if my report misses something?

After your report is generated, you can flag any finding you think is incorrect and our AI will review and correct it. If the issue isn't resolved, it escalates to a human review at no additional charge.
