Plan-ahead path
Modifications
Room-by-room, strictly product-neutral guidance for changing the physical home to reduce fall risk and support aging in place: bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, stairs, entryways, and lighting checklists, plus the cost and funding context around them (Medicare DME coverage limits, Medicaid HCBS waivers, nonprofit home-repair programs) and how to find and vet a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist. This group covers what to change in the home and why, at the category level (e.g. grab bar placement, walk-in shower vs. tub conversion) without naming or ranking products or contractors. It excludes triage steps (Fall Prevention) and specific mobility-aid buying decisions (Mobility), which it cross-links to from each room checklist.
