Since the majority of my career was spent in Home Health, the topic of Aging in Place and Home Modifications is one that is near and dear to my heart. I have compiled some of the most useful resources that I have posted over the last couple of years in one handy article.
The Physical Therapy Toolkit includes a treatment guide on Home Safety and Modification and a Home Safety Assessment.
Enjoy!
