Age Safe America

What Age Safe America does

Age Safe America is a privately-held national organization founded in 2015 and headquartered in Los Gatos, California, focused on senior home safety assessment and aging-in-place enablement. The company operates a certification-gated platform built around its Senior Home Safety Specialist (SHSS) credential and a 240-point digital assessment framework that generates the proprietary Age Safe Home Score, a standardized 0-to-100 metric for residential safety for older adults. The company's core products are the Age Safe Home Score, a Mobile Assessment App that replaces paper checklists with a guided digital workflow, and the SHSS certification program itself.

The underlying technology is a proprietary 240-point evaluation framework derived from decades of published research and validated clinical frameworks. The scoring algorithm is designed to produce comparable results across different certified assessors, addressing the fragmentation in a market historically dominated by subjective paper-based checklists. The mobile app serves as the primary delivery mechanism and is distributed globally through app stores to certified professionals.

Age Safe America generates revenue through a recurring subscription model tied to professional certification enrollment and access to the mobile assessment app. The company employs a community-led go-to-market strategy in which certified SHSS professionals serve end customers across multiple segments: payers (insurance and healthcare), clinical providers (physicians, therapists, home health agencies), government agencies (federal, state, and local aging programs), home-services professionals (contractors, occupational therapists), and family-advisory professions (senior care advisors, geriatric care managers). Daniel Davenport serves as CEO.

Broad incumbents

• HomeFit by AARP: AARP's HomeFit program offers home safety assessments and aging-in-place guidance to seniors nationwide. As an established nonprofit-backed incumbent serving the same end customers (seniors and family advisors), it overlaps materially with Age Safe America's scoring and education mission but operates as a free consumer program rather than a certified professional B2B2C platform.
• Home Safety Council (within National Safety Council): The National Safety Council historically operated the Home Safety Council focused on home safety education and checklists. It overlaps with Age Safe America's mission of standardized home-safety evaluation frameworks but addresses a broader population rather than specializing in aging-in-place scoring.
• Lifeline by Philips: Philips Lifeline provides medical alert and home safety monitoring devices for seniors. It is comparable as a senior home-safety incumbent with payer and provider channels, though its core product is PERS hardware rather than a standardized assessment scoring platform.
• Right at Home: Right at Home is a national in-home senior care franchise providing personal care and aging-in-place services. It overlaps with Age Safe America's payor and clinical-provider customer channels across elder care, though its core offering is hands-on caregiving rather than safety assessment scoring.
• Home Instead: Home Instead is a global in-home care franchise specializing in personalized senior care, including aging-in-place support. It is comparable as an established aging-in-place incumbent serving overlapping payer, provider, and family-advisory customer segments, though focused on care delivery rather than standardized home-safety scoring.

Direct peers

• National Aging in Place Council (NAIPC): NAIPC is a membership and resource organization focused on aging-in-place professional services, with member directories of home modification and aging-in-place specialists. It is directly comparable to Age Safe America's SHSS certification community, addressing the same professional network and home-safety-assessment market.

Emerging players

• Aloe Care Health: Aloe Care Health offers smart home safety devices and monitoring for older adults, including fall detection and emergency response. It is comparable as an emerging player in technology-enabled senior home safety, targeting overlapping family-advisory and payer use cases, though focusing on hardware rather than professional assessment scoring.
• Lively (formerly GreatCall): Lively (GreatCall) provides connected senior safety products including medical alert devices and health services. It is comparable as an emerging senior-safety technology provider with overlapping payer and family-advisory customer channels, though product-led rather than assessment-led.
• Livindi: Livindi offers a connected aging-in-place platform combining sensors, video communication, and caregiver dashboards. It overlaps as a tech-enabled aging-in-place emerging player serving family caregivers and clinical providers with home-based safety and monitoring tools.
• WellAWARE Systems: WellAWARE Systems develops sensor-based behavioral monitoring for senior wellness and fall risk detection. It is comparable as an emerging player in clinical-grade home safety assessment for elderly populations, serving overlapping provider and senior living customer channels.
