After-a-Fall Home Safety Review — The Caregiving Concierge™

LOOK AGAIN AFTER SOMETHING CHANGED

A fall is a reason to review the home again.

Use this tool to look at the route, room, lighting, surfaces, supports, and mobility setup around a recent fall. It helps organize environmental observations — not diagnose why the fall happened.

Important: This tool does not determine the cause of a fall or whether medical care is needed. Falls can involve medical, medication, vision, mobility, balance, environmental, and other factors. If the fall caused injury, new symptoms, head impact, loss of consciousness, severe pain, weakness, dizziness, or another concerning change, contact the appropriate healthcare professional or emergency service.

Remember: a home review is only one piece of fall prevention. CDC recommends talking with a healthcare provider about fall risk and fall-prevention steps that fit the individual. In an emergency, call 911.

About this After-a-Fall Review

Caregiver Compass™ After-a-Fall Home Safety Review is an educational and organizational tool. It does not determine the cause of a fall, diagnose fall risk, evaluate an injury, prescribe medical care, interpret medication effects, or determine whether a home is safe.

The environmental review is informed by older-adult fall-prevention guidance from the CDC and National Institute on Aging, including clear walking paths, secure railings, good lighting, bathroom support, nonslip surfaces, and reevaluating the home when needs change.
