WHAT TO EXPECT
No two consultations are exactly alike.
Our recommendations are designed to support your priorities, your routines, and your home environment. We focus on practical ideas intended to help everyday life feel more manageable, comfortable, and supportive.
Recommendations may include education, environmental considerations, resource guidance, equipment suggestions, and implementation ideas.
Not Sure Which Consultation Is Right for You?
That's perfectly okay!
Many of our clients aren't sure where to begin—and they don't need to be.
We'll take the time to learn about your goals, answer your questions, and recommend the consultation that best fits your needs.
Every great plan begins with a conversation.
Pricing
Our Consultation Fee
Personalized expertise. Clear pricing. Recommendations designed for real life.
Every person, home, and situation is different. Our consultations are designed to meet you where you are—whether you have one specific concern or are looking for a more comprehensive assessment of how your home can better support everyday life.
All consultations are billed at $225 per hour, with a minimum consultation time based on the scope of the service.
Consultation time includes more than the time we spend in your home. Your total consultation time may include:
Your in-home consultation and functional observation
Discussion of your priorities, routines, and concerns
Professional analysis and clinical reasoning
Research or review of appropriate solutions when needed
Development of individualized recommendations
Preparation of your personalized written report
Before scheduling, we will help you determine which level of consultation best fits your needs.
Home Function Snapshot
2-hour minimum | Starting at $450
Designed for a specific concern, area of the home, or functional challenge where focused professional guidance is needed.
A Focused Consultation may be a good fit when you are wondering:
How can we make the bathroom safer and easier to use?
What changes might make getting in and out of the home easier?
What equipment or environmental modifications might help with a specific daily activity?
How could one area of the home better support mobility, independence, or caregiving?
Is there a better way to set up this space for how I actually use it?
Example
You contact us because getting into and out of your shower has become increasingly difficult.
We may spend approximately 60–75 minutes in your home observing the bathroom environment, discussing your routines and concerns, and looking at how you currently complete the task.
The remaining consultation time is used for professional analysis, development of individualized recommendations, and preparation of your written report.
Estimated starting investment: $450
POST-DISCHARGE RESET
3-hour minimum | Starting at $675
Designed for multiple concerns, a significant life transition, or a broader assessment of how you function within your home.
An Expanded Consultation may be appropriate when:
You are returning home following surgery, hospitalization, or rehabilitation
Your mobility or abilities have recently changed
You are helping an aging parent remain safely at home
Several areas of the home are creating challenges
You are preparing for a new caregiving situation
You want recommendations that consider multiple daily routines or spaces
Example
Your parent wants to remain at home, but you have noticed increasing difficulty with stairs, bathing, getting on and off furniture, and managing everyday routines.
We may spend approximately 90 minutes in the home learning about their routines, observing relevant activities and environments, and identifying priorities together.
Additional consultation time is used to analyze what we observed, determine practical options, prioritize recommendations, and prepare a personalized written report.
Estimated starting investment: $675
AGE IN PLACE PLAN
4-hour minimum | Starting at $900
Designed for complex situations, whole-home assessment, long-term planning, or circumstances requiring more extensive professional analysis and recommendations.
A Comprehensive Consultation may be appropriate when:
You want to plan proactively for aging in place
You are considering significant home modifications
You are purchasing, building, or remodeling a home with long-term function in mind
Your needs affect multiple activities and areas throughout the home
You are navigating a complex change in function or caregiving needs
You want a detailed assessment of how your home supports your current and anticipated needs
Example
You plan to remain in your home long-term and want to understand what changes could help the home continue to work well for you over time.
We may complete a broader assessment of the home, including entrances, primary living spaces, bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, circulation pathways, stairs, and other areas important to your everyday routines.
Following the visit, we use the remaining consultation time to analyze findings, prioritize immediate and future considerations, and develop a detailed written report that can serve as a roadmap for future decisions.
Estimated starting investment: $900
What if my situation doesn't fit neatly into one of these?
That's completely okay.
These consultation levels provide a starting point—not a checklist you have to fit into.
You may be recovering from surgery, adapting to a new disability, supporting a family member, planning a remodel, thinking ahead about aging, experiencing difficulty with a particular daily activity, or simply wondering whether your home could work better for you.
Tell us what's going on. We'll help determine the level of consultation that makes the most sense for your situation.
How Additional Time Works
All consultations are billed at $225 per hour.
The Focused, Expanded, and Comprehensive consultation levels establish the minimum professional time reserved for your consultation.
If your needs require additional time beyond that minimum, additional consultation time is billed at the same $225 hourly rate.
Whenever possible, we will discuss anticipated additional time with you before proceeding.
A few examples:
Focused Consultation
2.0 hours × $225 = $450
Expanded Consultation
3.0 hours × $225 = $675
Comprehensive Consultation
4.0 hours × $225 = $900
Expanded Consultation requiring one additional hour
4.0 total hours × $225 = $900
There is no separate charge for preparing your written recommendations. Documentation and professional analysis are part of your consultation time.
Not Sure Where to Start?
You don't need to know which consultation level you need before contacting us.
Tell us a little about you, your home, and what isn't working the way you'd like it to. We'll help determine an appropriate starting point and make sure you understand the anticipated cost before your consultation is scheduled.
