Frequently Asked Questions
We know families have questions before getting started.
Here are some we hear most often.
-
SafeSteps Concierge is a professional consulting service that helps older adults and their families navigate home safety, fall prevention, and mobility concerns. Dr. Lindsey Martin, a Doctor of Physical Therapy with over 15 years of experience, conducts personalized in-home or virtual consultations — assessing your home environment, discussing your specific concerns, and providing individualized recommendations to support safer, more confident living at home.
-
No. SafeSteps Concierge provides non-clinical mobility and home safety consulting — not physical therapy or medical treatment. Services are focused on education, prevention, and practical recommendations to support safer movement at home.
-
Unlike home health services, SafeSteps Concierge is not tied to insurance billing or clinical treatment. This allows for a more thorough, preventative, and personalized approach focused on safety and independence rather than rehabilitation. Unlike DME (durable medical equipment) companies, we do not sell equipment or receive commissions — every recommendation is entirely unbiased.
-
No. While many clients are older adults, this service is appropriate for any adult experiencing changes in balance, mobility, or confidence at home — or anyone planning proactively for safer living at any stage of life.
-
SafeSteps Concierge is designed for older adults, adults experiencing changes in balance, mobility, or confidence at home, and families seeking expert guidance around safety, fall prevention, or aging in place. It's an ideal fit for anyone who wants professional, unbiased advice during times of transition, recovery, or proactive planning. If you're unsure whether this is right for your situation, reach out — we're here to help you decide.
-
During an in-home consultation, Dr. Martin walks through your home with you, reviews how you move through your space, identifies potential safety risks, and discusses practical solutions tailored to your environment and goals. Virtual consultations follow a similar structure via video — with a guided discussion based on your specific concerns. Both options include a written summary with prioritized recommendations.
-
No. SafeSteps Concierge does not sell equipment and does not receive commissions of any kind. All recommendations are independent and unbiased, allowing you to make informed decisions without pressure.
-
In-home consultations are available within a 15-mile radius of West Los Angeles (ZIP 90025). Virtual consultations are available nationwide. If you're outside the in-home service area, please contact us to discuss your options.
-
No. All services are self-pay. This allows for more personalized consultations and unbiased recommendations without the restrictions of insurance-based care.
-
Clients often find that expert guidance upfront helps prevent costly mistakes, unnecessary equipment purchases, falls, and future injuries. The service is designed to provide clarity, confidence, and peace of mind — which many families find invaluable during uncertain or transitional times.
-
In-home consultations are typically limited to the standard service area for logistical reasons. However, exceptions may be considered for Concierge Home Safety Advisory Services on a case-by-case basis. We recommend starting with a virtual consultation or contacting us directly to discuss your options.
-
If you or a loved one are noticing changes in safety, confidence, or mobility at home — or want proactive guidance to reduce fall risk — this service may be appropriate. You’re welcome to reach out to discuss next steps.
