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

My Home, Step by Step is the household plan: what to do about the house, in the order the house needs it. It is under My Home in the sidebar, and it is yours to keep on the Free plan. It is separate from Room Safety Check. It does not turn Room Safety Check findings into the fix list.

Two moves first

Move 1: Check the House. Take a photo of the room. SeniorThrive looks at the house and shows what deserves attention. Run a Room Safety Check on the bathroom, the stairs, or the kitchen. Until a room has been checked, the page shows how your plan will look once you have checked a room.

Move 2: Save Emergency Contacts, so responders have what they need before anyone has to go looking.

The everyday steps

Below the two moves are the habits that keep a home working: an Emergency Health Card, a Daily Check-In Routine, Track Health Baselines, and Shared Supplies & Errands. Each one links to the tool that does it.

There is also a short list of safeguard documents, such as someone to handle your affairs and your health care instructions, with a line on why each one matters.

How you can tell where you are

Overall Home Progress shows how much of the plan is done. It counts steps, and only steps.

Keeping a copy

Tap Download Plan (PDF). The file is saved to your device, to print, file, or hand to someone.

You do not have to do it all yourself

You can delegate or share any home step with the people in your Circle at any time. The step stays on the plan; someone else picks it up.

What is on which plan

The framework is yours to keep on the Free plan: the structure, the safeguard documents, the self-directed steps, and the PDF. The badge at the top of the page says Free Forever Plan or Essential Plan Active, so you always know which you are on.
