About
Helping families keep an aging parent safe at home.
Senior Home Safety Hub provides free, practical calculators for adult children, family caregivers, and anyone planning a safer home and a realistic care budget for an elderly parent.
What this site does
Caring for an aging parent — often from another city or country — means a steady stream of practical questions. How long must a wheelchair ramp be? Will a walker fit through the bathroom door? Where do grab bars go? What will care actually cost each month? How many supplies should we order so they don't run out? These tools turn those questions into clear numbers you can act on.
The site is built to be fast, lightweight, and easy to use on a phone — at the parent's home, in the hardware store, or on a call with a sibling. Calculators run entirely in your browser and are meant to support planning, not to replace local building codes, professional installation quotes, or medical advice.

Important note
Every home and every person's needs are different. Accessibility figures used here are widely cited ADA starting points; local residential building codes can differ. Care costs vary widely by country and region. Medication and care decisions are medical decisions. Use these calculators to plan, then confirm details with local codes, licensed contractors, care providers, and your parent's doctor or pharmacist.
