Advocates on AgingPractical support for caring for an aging loved one at home
Home safety guidance and hands-on caregiving techniques in one place — a free library of guides and downloadable resources you can use right now, plus a paid bundle of ready-to-use checklists.
What it is
Practical, room-by-room guidance so you know exactly what to change at home and why, plus field-tested caregiving techniques for day-to-day situations — discharge prep, safe transfers, and confident mobility assistance. Written by a Doctor of Physical Therapy, not a general lifestyle blogger.
Who it's for
Family caregivers preparing a home before a hospital, surgery, or rehab discharge; anyone trying to spot and fix fall hazards before they cause a fall; and caregivers looking for hands-on techniques for a loved one with limited mobility.
What's included
- Room-by-room home safety checklists (entryway, bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, stairs)
- Equipment guides by surgery type — grab bars, raised toilet seats, shower chairs, ramps, and what's actually worth buying
- A "coming home" checklist for after a hospital stay, surgery, or rehab discharge
- Field-tested caregiving tips & tricks from Stephen's book
- An in-depth Home Safety Checklist — room-by-room guidance, direct book excerpts, and Caregiver Notes, not just checkboxes
- Steady Together — a friendly guide to safe mobility & transfer techniques
