How accurate are Home Safety Checks?

The check uses Google's Vertex AI to recognize common fall hazards in your photos: cords, loose rugs, dim lighting, clutter on stairs, and the kinds of things people stop seeing when they have lived with them for years. The results are suggestions to review, not a professional safety audit.

Do I need any special equipment to use Home Safety Checks?

No special tools, no setup. Just use your phone - take a photo of a room or upload one you already have, and Home Safety Checks will instantly analyze it.

Do I need to clean or stage the room first?

Actually, it's better if you don't! Home Safety Checks works best when the room is in its real, everyday state. That's how it finds the actual risks that could lead to a fall.

Can there be people or pets in the photo?

No - for privacy and accuracy, the check should only show the room. Please avoid including people or pets in the image.

Is it hard to upload photos?

Not at all. You can take a picture right from your phone's camera or upload one from your photo gallery. Home Safety Checks guides you step by step - no tech skills required.

How long does the check take?

Just seconds. As soon as you upload your photo, Home Safety Checks instantly highlights potential hazards and provides clear suggestions to improve safety.

Will Home Safety Checks tell me what to fix?

Yes. You'll receive simple, personalized suggestions. Home Safety Checks connects you to easy DIY videos, Amazon products pre-filtered to 4+ stars, and local professionals if you'd like extra help.

What's included with each check?

Each Home Safety Check includes hazard detection, detailed recommendations, and links to resources you can use right away.

Do I need to buy anything else?

No purchases are required. Home Safety Checks gives you actionable advice you can use immediately. You decide if you want to follow a DIY fix or explore the recommended products and services.

Who can use Home Safety Checks?

Anyone who wants to make their home safer - older adults, family caregivers, or professionals helping loved ones age confidently at home. If you can take a photo, you can use Home Safety Checks.

How private is my information?

Completely private. Your photos and reports are securely stored and never shared. You're in full control of what you choose to keep or delete.
