The problem

One in four adults over 65 falls every year, and most falls happen at home — in the bathroom, on the stairs, on the way to the bathroom at night. The hard part isn't caring. It's knowing what actually matters in her house, for her balance, her medications, her routines. A checklist from the internet can't see any of that. We can.

What the assessment is

A 90-minute visit at the home, done by Hiram Tame — a licensed occupational therapist who has spent since 2012 watching how people really move through their homes. We screen fall risk (simple observed-and-timed checks — nothing hands-on), walk every room looking for hazards, and watch the daily routines: the stairs, the tub, the step into the garage. Then you get a written report that sorts everything into three lists: fix this week (most are under $50), schedule a pro, and bigger projects — each with planning costs, so the family can decide together, with real numbers.

What's included

• Fall-risk screening (CDC-based), explained in plain English
• Room-by-room hazard review with photos
• Medication, vision, and footwear flags to take to the doctor or pharmacist
• A written plan in three tiers, with planning costs for every item
• An after-a-fall plan: what to do in the first five minutes
• A 30-minute family call to walk through the report together
• A follow-up visit after the work is done — we check the finished work against this plan and re-check how she's moving with the changes in place

How it works

1. Call or text (812) 447-7807, or send the form below. We'll talk through what's worrying you.
2. We visit the home (about 90 minutes). Family is welcome — in the room or on speakerphone.
3. You get the written plan within a few days, and we walk through it together on a call.

Frequently asked questions

Is this covered by Medicare or insurance?

No. It's a private-pay consultation — no referral needed and no claims. That's what makes it fast and focused on the home, not on paperwork.

Is this therapy?

No. It's a safety consultation and a plan. If the screening suggests Mom needs skilled care, we'll say so plainly and point you to her doctor.

Who should be there?

Whoever makes decisions. Adult children are welcome in person or by phone — the report is written for the whole family.

What if we want the fixes done too?

We don't do any of the work ourselves — that's deliberate. Our job is the assessment and the plan. The report is written so any contractor can bid from it, and we're happy to give you a list of people in the area who can do the work. When it's done, we come back and check it against the plan. Because we don't sell the work, nothing in the plan is there to sell you something.

How fast can you come?

Usually within the week. Call or text and we'll find a time.
