A structured walkthrough of your entire home using a 230-point instrument aligned to the CLIPP, CAPS, and SHSS frameworks. The walkthrough covers entry and exterior, circulation paths, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living spaces, whole-home systems, the technology ecosystem that you already have, sensory environment, cognitive and executive function support, caregiver integration, and your goals for the next ten years. Two appendix instruments activate when they apply: a dementia-specific companion when there is a clinical trigger, and a child safety section when there are children in the household.

Six tracks exist so that the assessment matches your household rather than the other way around. Planning Ahead is the standard track for adults living in place. Neurodivergent Household is for autistic and ADHD households. Neurodivergent with Child Safety is for ND households that include kids. Multigenerational is for households navigating overlapping needs across generations. Remote Safety Snapshot is for households outside South Jersey, built around guided video. Accessible Vacation Rental Audit is for short-term rental hosts. The discovery call is where the right track gets identified.

A PT or OT home evaluation looks at the person and how their body or nervous system interacts with the space. This assessment looks at the home and the technology ecosystem, and how both work for everyone living in the household. The two halves of the picture sit together. When a PT or OT is already involved, I coordinate with them rather than duplicating their work. If a clinical evaluation is needed and not yet in place, I flag that as a referral in the report.

No. I am a consultant, not a contractor and not an integrator. The report names what to do, in what order, with rough cost ranges and the type of professional who should do it. You can hand the report to any contractor or installer you already trust. If you would like introductions, I coordinate warm referrals to vetted local professionals.

The free 30-minute discovery call is a fit check, not a sales pitch. I will have already read your pre-call intake survey, so the conversation does not have to start from zero. By the end of the 30 minutes, you should have a clear sense of whether the assessment is the right next step, which of the six tracks fits, and what the investment looks like. If the assessment is not the right fit, I will tell you that and point you toward whoever can actually help.

Yes. The household member who knows the property best should plan to be on site for the full walkthrough. The person who lives in the home is the person who knows how it actually gets used, what has come up before, and what you have already tried. This is true across every in-person track. For neurodivergent and multigenerational households, having multiple family members present often makes the report sharper. The Remote Safety Snapshot is the only inherent exception, since it runs over guided video.

You receive the report within five business days of the walkthrough. It includes top safety priorities with reasoning, quick wins you can act on this week, longer-term recommendations sequenced by impact with rough cost ranges, specialist referrals with context, technology recommendations when technology is the right answer, a plain-language summary page built for sharing, and a reassessment trigger list. A 30 to 45 minute review call is included, where the document becomes a sequenced plan that you can use. Neurodivergent and multigenerational engagements also include a 30-day check-in call after the review.

Yes, at 75% of the current posted rate. Life changes, including a health event, a family member moving in, a renovation completing, or a child reaching a new stage, are all good reasons to revisit. Every report includes a trigger list naming the kinds of changes that warrant another walkthrough.

When technology is the right answer, the recommendations default to local control, privacy-first architecture, and no subscriptions. Your data stays on the property, your automations keep working when the internet goes down, and your system is not dependent on a company staying solvent or continuing to support a product. Alexa, Ring, and Nest are cloud-dependent platforms. They can change terms, raise prices, or sunset features at any time. The local-control alternative exists, and that is what I specify. The full philosophy lives on the Local Control Smart Home Technology page.

The report names exactly what you have, what is worth integrating with a local-control architecture, what is worth replacing, and what is genuinely fine to keep using as-is. Not every cloud device is a problem. The report distinguishes between low-stakes convenience devices and devices that are collecting safety-critical data or sitting in a sensitive part of the home.
