Age Safe America Launches Home Safety Assessment App, First Standardized Home Safety Score

Age Safe America launched its mobile assessment app and the Age Safe Home Score, the first standardized 0-to-100 home safety score for aging in place. The app gives aging service providers, families, clinicians, insurers, home-services and real-estate professionals a common, measurable metric. It also gives certified assessors a faster way to conduct and document evaluations.

Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalization for older adults, costing Medicare, insurers and families more than $80 billion a year. About 80% happen at home. Decades of research show home modifications reduce them. Yet no standardized score for home safety has existed.

The app replaces hours of paper checklists and hand-written reports with a single guided workflow. Assessors apply their clinical judgment to select recommendations from a structured library, and the app automatically rolls each selection into the Home Score, a projected post-improvement score and a client report delivered on the spot.

The 240-point assessment draws on decades of published research and validated clinical frameworks. Age Safe’s algorithm turns that evidence into a standardized measure, so the same home gets the same score no matter who assesses it.

The app is live for all certified SHSS professionals.
