• Home Safety Checklist for Seniors
The safety of one's home for homebound and dependent seniors and disabled adults is a chief concern. To this end, OSA publishes a Home Safety Checklist for Seniors, which is available online here.

• Assisted Living Checklists
Our staff regularly receive inquiries from the general public including caregivers for information about Assisted Living options for seniors. While OSA is not in a position to recommend any facility or residential strategy for a specific individual, we have prepared a checklist for seniors, their caregivers and family members to use in evaluating an assisted living option.
