It's not age. It's the house. And the house we can fix.
You look after everyone. Let the house look after you.
You've kept this house for years, and the plan is to stay. Staying is a common plan: 8 in 10 Canadians 50+ want to stay in their home, or a smaller one, as they age, but 6 in 10 haven't made any plans or changes to do so (National Institute on Ageing, 2026). It's not age. It's a tub wall, a slick floor and a dark hallway that haven't changed since the house was built. Those we can change.

Independence at Home: the signs.
- When the family talks about the house, it's the bathroom and the stairs that come up.
- The tub wall is a high step for a morning shower, and there's nothing solid to hold.
- The hallway between the bedroom and the bathroom is dark at night.
- Much of the day, nobody else is home, and the family would like to know the house is looked after: a CO alarm in date, a water shutoff that works, a light at the door.
- The plan is to stay in this house, and the house hasn't been set up for that yet.
- Someone you love lives here, and you'd like the house to be ready for them every day.
Staying is the plan most families want.
You already look after everyone. If the plan is to stay, the house is the part we can take off your list.
Why the house matters.
Two measures from the Public Health Agency of Canada. Falls caused 89% of injury hospital stays among Canadians 65+ (2022 data, excluding Quebec). About half (52%) of seniors' fall hospital stays began in a household residence (2015/16 to 2019/20, excluding Quebec; the place wasn't recorded for 18%).
- The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that 20% to 30% of Canadians 65+ fall each year.
- PHAC lists a lack of grab bars in the bathroom, missing stair railings and poor lighting, especially on stairs, among home hazards.
- A US CDC study found about 80% of bathroom injuries were falls, with the highest injury rates in or around the tub or shower. Among people 65+, 19% to 37% of bathroom injuries involved the toilet (US data, 2008).
- In Calgary's winters the entry counts too: PHAC found 18% of seniors' fall injuries happened on ice or snow (2017-2018 survey of seniors living in households).
- Alberta has required CO alarms in new homes since 2007 and recommends them for every existing home. The rule isn't retroactive, so homes built before then were never required to have one.
- Water is the leading cause of home insurance payouts in Canada, making up over 30% of property damage claims (RBC Insurance).
Public health agencies measure falls; they haven't measured our work, and we make no claim about falls or injuries for anything we install. We describe what we install and where, and you decide.
Walk the house with us, one room at a time.
Six questions about the house, about a minute. Take it yourself, or take it together. Where the walk-through starts, and the plan that fits.
Your answers stay on this page. We don't store them or use them for advertising. Every question is about the house, not about anyone's health.
We measure first. Then we fix what the readings show.
It starts with a home safety visit. You give the tour, and we look at the house, not at you: the tub or shower, the toilet, the stairs, the entry and the lights. We measure the step into the shower and the hot water at the tap, check the CO alarm and the water shutoff, then leave a written plan with three levels and prices + GST, staged so nothing happens all at once. Have a list from an occupational therapist? Bring it, and we'll quote it as written.
We will not sell you something you do not need. Read the article behind this page.

The Home Safety Visit. You give the tour.
- What you want to keep doing. The bath, the garden, the stairs to the basement. We start with your routines, and you lead the tour.
- We look at the house, not at you. The tub or shower, the toilet, the stairs, the entry and the lights. We measure the step in and the hot water at the tap, and check the CO alarm and the water shutoff.
- Your written plan. Three levels side by side, with prices + GST, staged so nothing happens all at once. It's addressed to you; family get a copy only with your OK.
- You decide. In your own time. If an occupational therapist has given you a list, we'll quote it as written.
No pitch at the kitchen table. You keep the plan, and the decision is yours.
A gift for the home they love.
This Christmas, give the visit, and let them give the tour. It's theirs: they pick the day, they show us the house, and the plan is addressed to them. Ask us when you call.

What we look at, and what we don't claim.
What happens at the home safety visit?
You give the tour. We look at the bathroom, the stairs, the entry and the lighting, measure the step into the tub or shower and the hot water at the tap, and check the CO alarm and the water shutoff. You get a written plan with three levels and prices + GST. It's a look at the house by a licensed plumbing and heating team, not a health or medical assessment.
Will this stop a fall?
We can't promise that, and we don't make health claims for anything we install. What we can do is add something solid to hold, lower the step, put light where you walk and keep the hot water where you set it, in the order that matters to you.
Is there help paying for it?
Some households may qualify for help. Alberta's SHARP program offers eligible seniors 65+ a low-interest home-equity loan of up to $40,000 for home adaptations, with no monthly payments; it's repaid when the home is sold or is no longer the primary residence (current rate set by the Province: 4.45% as of November 2026). Alberta's RAMP may help eligible lower-income Albertans who use a wheelchair, seniors 65+ who use a 4-wheel walker, or people with certain progressive conditions, up to $12,000 a year. Seniors 65+ may be able to claim up to $20,000 a year of eligible accessibility renovations under the federal Home Accessibility Tax Credit, and eligible veterans can ask Veterans Affairs Canada about home adaptations. Each program sets its own rules, so check with the program or your tax preparer, and ask which credit fits. We'll provide the written estimate a SHARP application needs, and your invoice is itemized with GST.
I'm booking for a parent. How does that work?
You can book from anywhere, and your parent chooses the day. Home for the holidays? Walk the house together first, and look at the house, not at them: the tub edge, the step down to the garage, the hallway at 6 p.m., the stair rail, the hot water at the tap and the CO alarm's date. Then the visit is theirs: they lead the tour and the plan is addressed to them. With their OK, we'll send you a copy of the plan and photos on install day.
Do you sell medical alert buttons?
No. We install leak and CO monitoring, and we can point your family to personal response providers. Eligible lower-income seniors 65+ may qualify for help with personal response service through Alberta's Special Needs Assistance for Seniors program; check with the program.
