What’s in the checklist

Common questions before downloading
What’s the single most important bathroom safety upgrade?
Grab bars by the toilet and inside the tub or shower, professionally installed into wall studs at 33 to 36 inches above the finished floor (per ADA). The CDC’s STEADI fall-prevention program lists bathroom grab bars among the highest-yield home modifications for older adults. Suction-cup bars are not a substitute — they pull off under real load. Budget $200 to $400 for two professionally installed stainless-steel bars.
Will I get spam emails after I download?
No. We send you the checklist immediately, and our team may follow up once with an offer for a free in-home safety assessment. That’s it. No drip campaigns, no resale of your info. You can unsubscribe with one click.
Is the in-home safety assessment really free?
Yes — fully free, no obligation. An A-Team RN visits your parent’s home, walks the bathroom (and the rest of the house if you’d like), and gives you a written list of the specific changes that would help most. If you decide A-Team’s care services are a good fit, we’ll talk about that separately. If not, you keep the assessment.
Where does A-Team Home Care serve?
Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, and Chester counties in Pennsylvania. We’re an RN-led, state-licensed home care agency. Voted #1 home care agency in Philadelphia by the Philadelphia Business Journal.
