Medical and Financial Disclaimer

Safer Home Guide provides general, educational information about home safety, accessibility, and the programs that help pay for related changes. Reading this site is not a substitute for professional advice tailored to your situation.

Medical information

Nothing on this site is medical advice, and nothing here should be used to diagnose or treat a health condition. Falls, mobility changes, and vision loss can have many causes. If you or someone you’re helping is at risk of falling, or has already fallen, talk to a doctor, occupational therapist, or physical therapist about your specific situation.

Financial and program information

Program names, eligibility rules, and cost ranges described on this site are based on publicly available sources at the time of publication or last update, which we cite by name in the text. These rules change, and they vary by state and by individual circumstances. Before making a financial decision or applying for a program, confirm current details directly with the agency or organization that runs it.

Product and contractor information

Where we compare categories of product or describe how to hire a contractor, our evaluations reflect our own editorial criteria, stated on the relevant page. We are not liable for the performance of any specific product or professional you choose to work with. Always verify a contractor’s licensing, insurance, and — for accessibility work — relevant certification (such as CAPS) directly before hiring.

No liability

Safer Home Guide and its editorial team are not liable for decisions made based on information found on this site. Use it as a starting point for your own research and conversations with qualified professionals, not as a final answer.

This disclaimer works alongside our Editorial Policy (opens in a new tab), which explains how we research and review content.
