Most of us stop noticing the home we live in. The rug by the front door has been there for years. The lamp in the hallway has always been a little dim. The shower has always been a little slick.

A Room Check is a gentle way to look at your home again, with fresh eyes, and find the small things that could trip you up or make your day easier. Here is how it works.

It lives in your My Home hub, on the card called Room Safety Check: "Take a quick photo. See your room through fresh eyes."

You do not need to tidy up. A lived-in room tells the real story.

A few questions about how you move and where you spend your time make the suggestions noticeably sharper. On the free trial this is a quick five-question version. You can skip it and still check any room.

Before you choose, you will see how many room checks you have left. On the trial that is four in any seven days, and the screen tells you the number remaining so nothing runs out mid-thought. On a paid plan, room checks are unlimited and no count appears.

The bathroom is recommended first, since that is where most falls happen. The kitchen, bedroom, living room, and entryway are one tap away. Tap Show all rooms for stairs, the garage, the front porch, and the rest.

Use the camera to take new ones, or, if you already snapped some room photos earlier, choose them straight from your phone's photo library. Two or three angles are ideal: get the floor, the walkways, the doorways, and anywhere you reach, bend, or step up. You do not need to be a photographer.

Within a few seconds you will see "Found a few items" while it personalizes the details (or "All clear" if nothing turned up). The full report follows a moment later. Feel free to put the phone down.

Your findings are sorted into tabs:

None of these are grades. They are suggestions, from one careful eye to another.

Each room starts at 100. We take off points for each concern we spot: more for higher-severity ones like a fall or fire risk, less for minor ones. It is a snapshot of where you are today, not a test. Fix an item and you earn double those points back toward your ThriveScore. (Our rubric draws on CDC STEADI fall-prevention guidance and AOTA home-safety principles.)

This is the most important step. Do not try to do everything at once. Add one doable item to your To-Dos with Add to my tasks, and check it off when it is done. Each finished task makes your home a little safer and nudges your ThriveScore higher. If something needs another pair of hands, you can hand the task to someone in your circle.

A family member in your Circle can run a Room Check too, for a room they are standing in during a visit. The findings land in the same Home Safety Report, so there is one shared picture of the home rather than two separate ones.

Your results always carry one line: "AI-generated suggestions, not a medical assessment." Tap About these results for the full note. Room Check is not a medical device and does not replace an in-person evaluation by an occupational therapist. Your photos are analyzed by Google's Gemini AI and saved to your account so you can look back anytime. For personalized help, ask your doctor for an occupational therapy referral.

Rooms change. New furniture moves in, a rug curls at the edge, a bulb quietly burns out. Re-check whenever you like. Your Home Safety Report keeps a running picture: rooms checked, items found, and what you have completed.
