Senior Home Helper is a dedicated educational resource focused exclusively on helping seniors, caregivers, and families create safer homes and maintain independence through practical, evidence-based guidance.
We cover two core areas: mobility aids — including walkers, canes, rollators, and accessibility equipment — and home safety — including fall prevention, grab bar installation, bathroom modifications, and room-by-room safety improvements for aging in place.
Who We Are
Senior Home Helper was founded with a single purpose: to provide seniors and their families with the honest, practical information they need to make informed decisions about home safety and mobility — without medical jargon, without commercial bias, and without overwhelming complexity.
Every article on this site is researched, written, and reviewed by our editorial team with a focus on accuracy, real-world practicality, and genuine usefulness to the people who need it most.
Meet Our Editor — Margaret Collins
Senior Home Helper’s content is led by Margaret Collins, a senior home safety specialist with over 15 years of hands-on experience working with elderly individuals, their families, and caregiving teams across a range of home environments.
Margaret’s background combines direct work with seniors navigating mobility challenges with extensive research into fall prevention, assistive equipment, and aging-in-place home modifications. Her approach is grounded in real family situations — the questions families actually ask, the mistakes they commonly make, and the solutions that genuinely work in everyday home environments.
Margaret’s guiding principle is straightforward: the right information at the right time prevents falls, preserves independence, and keeps seniors safely in the homes they love.
Her work on Senior Home Helper reflects over a decade of conversations with seniors and caregivers, combined with ongoing research into current best practices in senior home safety.
