aging-in-place-assessment
Assess whether and how someone can safely stay in their own home as they age — the home hazards, the support gaps, and the modifications and services that make it work. Use when asked can my parent stay in their home safely, aging in place assessment, is it safe for them to live alone, or what do we need for them to stay home. Produces a room-by-room safety read (fall hazards, accessibility), an honest look at the daily-living and support gaps, the modifications and services that could close them, warning signs that home may no longer be safe, and how to raise it respectfully — helping a family make a clear-eyed, dignity-preserving decision. Not medical advice.

# Aging-in-Place Assessment Most older people want to stay in their own home — and often can, with the right changes and support. But "they're fine" is sometimes denial, and "they can't cope" is sometimes overcaution. This gives a clear-eyed assessment: the home's actual hazards, the honest gaps in daily living and support, what could close them, and the warning signs that home genuinely isn't safe anymore — so the family decides with eyes open, and with the person's dignity front and center. Not medical advice. ## What This Skill Produces - **A home safety read** — the hazards room by room (fall risks like rugs/stairs/bathrooms, lighting, accessibility) and what to fix - **A daily-living gap check** — honest look at how they're managing meals, hygiene, medications, mobility, finances, and getting around - **The support & modification options** — what could make home work: home modifications, in-home help, meal/transport services, tech (alerts, monitoring), and family support - **Warning signs** — the signals that home may no longer be safe (falls, missed meds, wandering, unmanaged bills, hygiene decline, isolation) - **How to raise it respectfully** — approaching the conversation preserving the person's autonomy and dignity, not talking over them - **A boundary** — this supports a family decision; medical/OT professionals should assess where health is involved ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The person** — age, health, mobility, cognition, and what they want - **The home** — layout (stairs, bathrooms), and known hazards - **How they're managing** — daily living, meds, finances, social contact — honestly - **Support available** — family nearby, budget for help/modifications - **The trigger** — a fall, a scare, general worry, or planning ahead ## Framework: Safety, Gaps, Support, Dignity 1. **Assess the home.** Go room by room for hazards — falls are the biggest risk (loose rugs, poor lighting, bathroom/stairs) — and note accessibility issues and quick fixes. 2. **Check daily living honestly.** How are they really doing with meals, hygiene, medications, mobility, money, and driving/transport — past both denial and overcaution. 3. **Match support to gaps.** For each gap, the option that closes it: modifications (grab bars, ramps, lighting), in-home help, services (meals, transport), tech (alert systems), and family support. 4. **Watch the warning signs.** Name the signals that home may no longer be safe — recurrent falls, missed medications, wandering, unpaid bills, hygiene or nutrition decline, dangerous cooking, isolation. 5. **Preserve dignity.** Center the person's wishes and autonomy; involve them in the decision rather than deciding over them — and raise concerns respectfully. 6. **Bring in professionals.** Where health, cognition, or safety are seriously in question, an occupational-therapy or medical assessment is the right next step. ## Output Format ### Aging in place: [person] · home [layout] · what they want [x] **Home safety (room by room):** [fall hazards · lighting · bathroom/stairs · accessibility → fixes]. **Daily-living gaps (honest):** [meals · hygiene · meds · mobility · finances · transport]. **Support to close gaps:** modifications [grab bars/ramps/lighting] · in-home help · services [meals/transport] · tech [alerts] · family. **⚠️ Home may not be safe if:** [falls · missed meds · wandering · unpaid bills · hygiene/nutrition decline · isolation]. **Raise it respectfully:** [center their wishes and autonomy]. > Supports a family decision — not medical advice. For health/cognition/safety concerns, get an occupational-therapy or medical assessment. ## Quality Checks - [ ] Assesses home hazards room by room (falls prioritized) - [ ] Honestly checks daily-living management (past denial/overcaution) - [ ] Matches specific support/modifications to each gap - [ ] Names the warning signs that home may be unsafe - [ ] Centers the person's dignity and autonomy - [ ] Flags when a professional assessment is needed; not medical advice ## Anti-Patterns - **Reflexive "they're fine"** (denial) or "they can't cope" (overcaution). - **Ignoring fall hazards** — the biggest risk. - **Deciding over the person** instead of with them. - **No specific support options** for the gaps. - **Missing the warning signs** or the professional-assessment line. ## Example Trigger Phrases - "Can my dad safely stay in his home as he gets older?" - "Aging-in-place assessment for my mother who lives alone." - "Is it still safe for my parent to live independently?" - "What do we need to set up so my grandma can stay in her home?" - "How do I bring up that home might not be safe anymore, respectfully?"
Conduct a structured ethical review of an AI or ML feature, model, or product. Use when preparing to deploy an AI system, assessing algorithmic risk, auditing a model for bias, or producing a responsible AI impact assessment. Produces a structured ethics review covering fairness, transparency, privacy, safety, accountability, and societal impact with a risk tier score, pre-deployment checklist, and prioritised mitigations.
Structure AI and ML product decisions with the rigour of any product decision. Use when building AI-powered features, evaluating LLM integrations, designing AI products, or assessing AI readiness. Produces a complete AI product canvas covering problem definition, model approach, data requirements, evaluation framework, UX design, responsible AI checklist, and launch monitoring plan.
Transform feature briefs into structured design briefs that give designers the context they need before opening Figma. Use when asked to write a design brief, create a design handoff, brief a designer on a new feature, or translate a PRD into design requirements. Produces a brief with user goal, emotional context, success criteria, constraints, edge cases, and out-of-scope boundaries.
Design statistically rigorous A/B tests and interpret experiment results. Use when asked to design an experiment, run an A/B test, calculate sample size, interpret test results, or assess whether an experiment was successful. Produces a complete experiment design with hypothesis, sample size, run time, success criteria, and risk flags — or a results interpretation with ship/iterate/kill recommendation.
Synthesises user signals from multiple research sources into a unified, weighted insight brief. Use when you have data from interviews, support tickets, NPS verbatims, app reviews, or sales calls and need to reconcile contradictions, surface the underlying need behind requests, or answer 'what are users really telling us'. Produces ranked insights with confidence ratings, source weighting rationale, divergent signal analysis by user segment, and a research gap identification section.
Structure a product data analysis, metric deep-dive, funnel analysis, or cohort study. Use when asked to analyse product metrics, investigate a drop in conversion, explain a data change to stakeholders, or find the root cause of a metric movement. Produces a structured analysis with question, root cause, confidence level, and recommended action.
Interpret product metrics against goals and surface actionable signals. Use when asked to analyse product health, review key metrics, investigate a performance issue, produce a health report, or assess product-market fit signals.

Structure a retention analysis, churn investigation, or engagement deep-dive for any product team. Use when asked to analyse user retention, investigate churn, measure DAU/MAU, or build a retention improvement plan. Produces a retention snapshot with root cause hypotheses, aha-moment correlation, and prioritised interventions.
