How long does the walkthrough take?
About 30 minutes for most homes.
Who should do it?
Anyone at the home with a smartphone. It does not have to be the person who lives there: a friend, a neighbor, a caregiver or an adult child can do it.
What happens to my photos?
They are stored privately and used only to prepare your report. See our Privacy page.
What if I need help partway through?
Call 1-844-500-0580 or email hello@thecaresteward.com.
What comes after the scan?
Many families make the changes on their own. If you want more help, what you paid for the scan counts toward the consultation or the audit for 30 days after your scan report arrives.
Coming home from the hospital
Discharge day moves fast. If a parent is coming home after a hospital or rehab stay, the scan shows what to change before or right after they arrive: the path from the car, the bathroom, the night path to the toilet.
