About HomeAnchor

We help families keep their loved ones safe at home - before the fall that changes everything.

Our Mission

HomeAnchor exists because the alternative - a $65,000 hip fracture, a $9,000/month nursing home - is preventable. We connect families with certified aging-in-place professionals across 500 US cities, provide free safety resources, and help families navigate the financial assistance that's often available but hard to find.

We believe every senior deserves to age in the home they built their life in. And we believe the adult children trying to protect their parents deserve a trusted guide - not a maze of contractor listings with no way to evaluate quality or cost.

The Problem We Solve

1 in 4 Adults over 65 fall each year
$65,000 Average hip fracture cost
$9,000+ Monthly nursing home cost
80% Of falls happen in the bathroom

Most of these falls are preventable. A $100 grab bar. Non-slip flooring. Better lighting. But finding a contractor you can trust, understanding what modifications your parent actually needs, and navigating Medicaid waivers and VA benefits - that's where families get stuck.

We built HomeAnchor to unstick that process.

Our Approach

1

Certified Professionals Only

We only connect families with CAPS-certified contractors (Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists through NAHB) and NASMM-certified move managers. These certifications require specific training in senior safety and ethical practices.

2

Transparent Costs

We publish regional cost ranges for every modification type. No hidden fees, no bait-and-switch. You know what to expect before you talk to a contractor.

3

Free Resources First

All five of our core resources - Fall Risk Audit, Subsidy Finder, Independence Budgeter, Dementia Checklist, Caregiver Vetting Script - are completely free. We don't charge families for basic safety information.

Trust & Transparency

Disclaimer: HomeAnchor is not a licensed contractor and does not employ the contractors listed in our directory. We are a referral service that connects families with certified professionals. Always verify contractor credentials, insurance, and references before hiring. HomeAnchor earns referral fees from contractors for successful connections.
