To-Dos: the simple running list of small good things

Home Safety To-Dos is the list of small fixes your Room Checks found. Where to find it, how to hand one to someone, and how to work through it at your own pace.

To use To-Dos, sign in first.

This page explains how it works. The tool itself is inside your SeniorThrive account.

A home that is easy to live in is mostly small fixes. Move the rug that almost tripped you. Put a brighter bulb in the hallway. Add a grab bar near the tub.

Home Safety To-Dos is the list where those fixes live: the things your Room Checks found, ready to work through at your own pace.

Where to find it

Open My Home and tap Home Safety To-Dos.

Your Room Check tasks are part of Essential, and pause on the Free membership. Every Room Check report you have already run still opens on Free.

Where tasks come from

  • From a Room Check. What a Room Check finds lands on your list. "A grab bar near the tub." "A brighter bulb in the hallway."

  • From you. Before your first Room Check, tap Already noticed something around the house? and add it under I Spotted Something.

For everyday errands that are not about the house, like calling the insurance company or picking up a prescription, use Tasks in Family & Friends, the list your whole Circle shares.

Checking things off

When you finish a task, open it and set it to Done.

If a task turns out to be bigger than you thought, or something you want help with, open it and tap Hand this to someone to pass it to a person in your Circle. It also appears on the shared Tasks list, with a link back to the finding.

Start with what matters most to you

Each finding comes with the reason it matters attached, so it is easy to pick the ones to reach for when you have an hour. A home that has been quietly maintained is a home that takes good care of you.

A small tip

Pick one day a week, say Sunday afternoon, and glance at your To-Dos. Do the two or three easiest ones. It is satisfying to clear a few, and each one makes a room a little easier to live in.
