adults 65+ report a fall each year — the leading cause of injury in older adults.
Source: CDC ↗Safe homes. Independent lives.
Falls are common.They are also largely preventable.
We use internationally recognised fall-prevention principles — like the CDC’s STEADI framework and AARP home-safety guidance — and tailor them for Indian homes. KushAlaya is the team that turns that guidance into action in your parents’ home.
The KushAlaya Assessment
Built on fall-prevention science
The KushAlaya Assessment is built on respected fall-prevention science, adapted for Indian homes. We start with guidance from AARP HomeFit and the CDC STEADI framework (STEADI stands for Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths & Injuries), covering the home, movement and daily routines that most affect fall risk.
We add proprietary KushAlaya checks of our own, for Indian bathrooms, kitchens, stairs, lighting and the way an elder actually lives in their home. Together, these questions produce a KushAlaya Safety Score and a prioritised report that shows a family exactly what to fix first, rather than a long, unordered list.
This is a home-and-elder safety assessment, not a medical diagnosis.
AI room check & preview
See it before we fit it
Send a photo of any room. Our AI points out common risks, and shows the room with the safety products already fitted, so you can decide with confidence, even from far away.
- 1Send a photo. Take a picture of the bathroom, bedroom or stairs on your phone.
- 2AI checks for risks. It looks for common hazards such as no grab bar, a slippery floor or a loose rug. Your care manager reviews every finding before you see it.
- 3See the room made safer. A preview of the room with the recommended products fitted, with prices from our list.
Pictures are illustrations: your care manager confirms the final products and where they go. Photos are used only for your home's plan and are never shared or sold.

Why it matters
The evidence on falls is clear
These figures come from recognised public-health sources. They describe the global pattern — our job is to reduce that risk in one specific home: your parents’.

A practical guide
What makes a home safer
These themes are consistent with recognised fall-prevention guidance — and they are where we focus first.
Better lighting
Bright, even light on stairs, hallways and the path to the bathroom — plus reachable switches and night lights.
Remove trip hazards
Loose mats, cluttered walkways, trailing wires and uneven thresholds are the falls waiting to happen.
Grab bars & support
Correctly installed grab bars by the toilet, shower and bed give confidence at the riskiest moments.
Medicine review
Some medicines affect balance. We encourage a review with the family doctor — we complement clinical care, never replace it.
Balance & strength
Staying active protects independence. Physiotherapy and a home exercise plan are part of every care plan.
A way to call for help
Wearable SOS to the family portal, plus immobility warnings when the assessment recommends a care alert kit.
Built for Indian homes
