Fall Prevention · Grand Rapids & West Michigan
Fall prevention home safety assessment in Grand Rapids, MI. Free, certified, room-by-room evaluation. Written report & prioritized plan. Call 616-682-7640.
1 in 4 adults over 65 falls every year in the United States. The consequences go far beyond the injury itself — a fall can trigger a cascade of loss of independence, hospitalization, and long-term care that many families never recover from. The uncomfortable truth is that most falls at home are preventable. They happen in specific, predictable places — and most of the risk factors can be fixed. ClearStep Home Safety provides free, certified fall prevention home assessments throughout Grand Rapids and West Michigan. We find the risks before they find you.

Get a free evaluationWhat's included
We walk every room of the home — bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, living room, stairways, hallways, and entry — systematically checking against the most common fall risk factors.
Every assessment results in a written report that ranks each identified risk by severity, with specific recommended fixes and a realistic cost estimate for each.
The bathroom is the highest-risk room in the home. We assess tub/shower entry, flooring, grab bar placement (or absence), toilet height, and lighting.
We assess handrail height and stability, stair lighting, step edges, exterior entry steps, and threshold trip hazards.
Poor nighttime lighting is one of the most overlooked fall risks. We assess hallway, stairway, and bathroom lighting — particularly the path most people take at night.
Every risk identified in the assessment has a corresponding modification option. We provide a quote for each — so you can prioritize based on risk and budget, not guesswork.
