This is the full room audit checklist. Use it room-by-room when you want a printable walk-through with more rows than the quick-start list in the room planning guide.
How to use it: Check each row when it is true or when you have made the fix. Add notes in your own copy if you print this page. Recheck after a fall scare, a hospital stay, or a major equipment change.
General information only, not medical advice. If health or safety is changing quickly, talk with your doctor, therapist, or another qualified professional before you make changes.
