Part 1: How to use this checklist
This is a room-by-room checklist for looking over a parent's home together, with 72 checks across 8 areas, a "fix first" sheet, a list of low-cost fixes and a page for what you decide as a team.
It is a set of ideas to notice and discuss. It does not predict or prevent anything, and it is not a professional home assessment. No checklist can guarantee that a fall will not happen. What it can do is help you see the house with fresh eyes and leave with a written, ordered list.
Who this is for
You are an adult child (or another relative or friend) who is visiting a parent's home and wants a calm, organized way to look at it. The home belongs to your parent. The aim is to offer help, not to take over, and every item in this pack is a suggestion for the two of you to talk about.
Before you start: ask, do not arrive with a clipboard

Who it's for
