Arthritis

Arthritis makes everyday tasks harder. Simple things like getting out of a chair, turning a faucet, or reaching for a dish can become painful—or even dangerous. Over time, changes in grip strength, balance, and joint movement can increase the risk of falls.

At DwellSafe, our team of medical professionals—including home safety experts, therapists, and clinicians—takes a thoughtful look at how arthritis affects real routines. We recommend adjustments that reduce pain, ease movement, and help people stay independent longer.

For example, we don’t just install grab bars—we consider how joint pain, stiffness, and hand strength affect where and how they’re used. This level of insight only comes from a team deeply connected to both healthcare and home design.

Heart Disease & Rehab

When you’re recovering from heart surgery or managing heart disease, even everyday movements can take a toll. Standing too quickly, walking across a room, or climbing stairs can lead to dizziness, fatigue, or a fall.

DwellSafe brings together clinicians and safety experts who understand how heart conditions affect the body day to day. We reduce unnecessary exertion by adjusting the layout and recommending smarter, more supportive features.

We also know how common heart medications impact balance and energy—and we plan with that in mind. Our recommendations are rooted in clinical knowledge, not just convenience.

Cancer Care & Recovery

Cancer treatment can leave people extremely tired, weak, or off-balance—especially when side effects like numbness in the hands or feet make everyday tasks feel harder or less safe.

DwellSafe was built by healthcare professionals who saw these challenges firsthand. We know how much recovery depends on a safe, supportive home. That’s why we personalize our recommendations to match how cancer—and its treatments—really affect people.

For example, when chemo causes nerve damage in the feet, it becomes harder to feel the ground. We use that understanding to suggest flooring and layouts that reduce fall risk and support healing.

Dementia & Cognitive Care

Memory loss and cognitive changes can make home safety more complicated. Too many changes—or the wrong ones—can increase confusion, agitation, or even lead to injury.

At DwellSafe, we know that people with dementia rely on routines and familiarity to get through the day. Our team includes experts in cognitive care who make subtle, supportive changes that preserve independence while improving safety.

We avoid making drastic changes to familiar spaces and instead focus on visual cues, better lighting, and small layout tweaks that reduce anxiety. It’s this kind of thoughtful, clinical approach that makes the difference.

Diabetes & Neuropathy

Diabetes can cause vision changes, muscle weakness, or numbness in the feet—raising the risk of burns, slips, and falls, especially in places like the bathroom or kitchen.

Our clinical team understands how these complications show up at home. We look closely at how flooring, lighting, and layout interact with real symptoms, and we recommend practical, easy-to-implement solutions.

For example, if someone can’t feel their feet well, even a slightly slick surface can become dangerous. DwellSafe combines medical understanding with home safety to keep daily life manageable—and safe.

COPD

When breathing is difficult, simple tasks like dressing or walking to the door can feel exhausting. Oxygen tubing, narrow spaces, or long distances only add to the strain—and the risk of falls.

DwellSafe works with a team that understands both respiratory care and home function. We reduce the effort it takes to move around by simplifying access, improving layout, and creating breathing-friendly zones in key areas.

We also account for habits like avoiding rooms that feel too hard to reach, then adjust the layout to better match how the person actually lives in the space. This insight comes from a team that knows health and home are always connected.

Vision Loss

Vision disorders affect more than reading—it changes how people move, cook, clean, and stay safe at home. Glare, shadows, or unclear walkways can all create hidden dangers.

Our multidisciplinary team includes specialists trained to match home design to visual needs. We focus on improving lighting, using color contrast, and reducing visual clutter to make movement easier and safer.

We also tailor solutions to the type of vision loss—whether someone struggles to see straight ahead or from the side. These aren’t generic fixes—they’re guided by deep clinical insight into how vision really impacts daily life.

Osteoporosis

When bones are fragile, even a small fall can lead to a major injury. That’s why preventing falls isn’t just about safety—it’s about protecting long-term health.

At DwellSafe, we build safety plans that help prevent the kinds of injuries that come with osteoporosis. Our team combines clinical insight with practical design to stabilize movement and reduce fall impact in key areas of the home.

We pay special attention to areas like bedrooms, bathrooms, and stairways—and make targeted recommendations to lower the risk of wrist, hip, or spine injuries. It’s this level of detail that sets DwellSafe apart.

Kidney Disease (CKD)

People living with kidney disease often deal with fatigue, swelling, and weakness that can make moving around the home more difficult. Even basic tasks like getting dressed or preparing meals can feel harder on certain days—especially after treatments like dialysis.

At DwellSafe, we take a personalized approach based on how symptoms show up at home. Our team understands how kidney disease affects strength, balance, and daily routines, and we use that insight to recommend supportive changes that reduce strain and increase safety.

For example, we know that swelling in the legs makes it harder to use stairs or stand up from low furniture—so we adjust the home accordingly. Our goal is to help people stay safe, supported, and in control of their space.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

For individuals on the autism spectrum, the home environment can either support independence—or create stress. Sensitivity to noise, lighting, clutter, or changes in routine can make everyday tasks like dressing or moving from room to room more challenging.

DwellSafe works across disciplines to create calming, structured spaces that support both safety and well-being. Our approach focuses on predictability, sensory balance, and simplicity—tailored to the person’s individual needs.

We understand that small changes in lighting, layout, or organization can have a big impact on comfort and routine. That’s why we make thoughtful adjustments that support safety without overwhelming the senses.

Stroke Recovery

Recovering from a stroke can change how a person walks, moves, sees, or thinks. One side of the body may be weaker, and navigating stairs or even getting dressed can become difficult—or dangerous.

DwellSafe brings together clinical expertise and home design to create safe, supportive environments for stroke recovery. We focus on clear pathways, simple layouts, and tools that make everyday tasks easier—especially for people using walkers or wheelchairs.

We also plan for one-handed use of furniture, lighting, and storage—because we know how stroke affects function on a practical level. Our changes help people regain confidence and independence at home.

Parkinson’s

Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders often cause tremors, stiffness, and slower motion, making everyday tasks more tiring and risky. Freezing episodes—where a person suddenly stops moving—can happen at doorways, stairs, or tight corners.

DwellSafe designs safer homes by understanding how these conditions affect real movement. We make changes that improve stability, reduce obstacles, and use visual cues to guide safe motion through the home.

We’ve learned that small layout adjustments—like widening walkways or adding floor cues—can make a big difference in avoiding falls and reducing stress. That’s where our clinical insight meets practical home design.

MS & ALS

Conditions like MS and ALS change slowly over time—but the effects can be life-altering. Fatigue, muscle weakness, and mobility loss make daily tasks more difficult, and homes that once worked well may no longer feel safe or accessible.

DwellSafe plans for today and tomorrow. Our team understands how progressive conditions evolve, so we design flexible spaces that support changing needs—from grab bars and easy-entry showers to wider doorways and voice-activated systems.

We also help people prepare for mobility aids, so the home adapts as they do—not the other way around. Our proactive, clinical approach supports both independence and peace of mind.

IDD

For people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, safety at home depends on clarity, routine, and accessibility. Overly complicated layouts or confusing setups can create stress or lead to accidents.

DwellSafe simplifies the home using practical strategies rooted in real-life care experience. We use visual cues, structured organization, and easy-to-use features to help people feel comfortable and confident in their space.

We design with the person’s abilities in mind—because when the home supports their strengths, independence and safety naturally follow.

Spinal Cord Injury

A spinal cord injury changes everything about how a person moves, accesses, and interacts with their home. Without the right setup, everyday tasks can feel impossible—and independence can be limited.

DwellSafe builds truly accessible environments for individuals using wheelchairs or other mobility supports. Our team looks beyond standard ramps or door widths—we design with the full picture in mind, including kitchen access, bathroom function, and ease of movement throughout the space.

We use universal design strategies that blend function with dignity—so the home works, and feels like home.

Hearing Impairment

When hearing is reduced or lost, many common home safety systems—like fire alarms, doorbells, or even conversations—become harder to notice or respond to. That can put safety and connection at risk.

DwellSafe makes homes more responsive by incorporating visual alerts, smart systems, and thoughtful acoustic changes. We focus on helping people stay safe, aware, and included in their environment.

We don’t just add technology—we create a layered approach to safety and comfort that respects how people live and communicate.

Medication Management

Keeping track of medications at home can be stressful—especially when schedules are complex, memory is limited, or vision makes reading labels harder. Missed doses or mistakes can lead to health problems that could have been avoided.

DwellSafe evaluates how the setup of your home supports (or hinders) safe medication use. We look at lighting, labeling, storage, and routine, and suggest changes that make it easier to stay on track.

Our team uses smart, simple systems to reduce the mental burden of managing medications—because safety should feel doable, not overwhelming.

Perioperative Planning

Coming home after a hospital stay or surgery is one of the riskiest times for falls and complications. Even temporary challenges—like needing a walker, managing fatigue, or avoiding stairs—can lead to accidents if the home isn’t ready.

DwellSafe prepares homes before discharge, making sure everything from beds to bathrooms supports a smooth recovery. We design safe walking paths, temporary supports, and flexible setups that work with new limitations.

It’s not just about avoiding injury—it’s about creating a home that truly helps you heal.
