Falls are the #1 cause of injury among seniors. They're also the most expensive — and the most preventable.
Prevention costs less than you think. Inaction costs more than you'd guess.
A nurse-led safety review costs $249. A single fall costs $20,000–$105,000. Here's the math behind keeping your loved one safe at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does aging in place cost compared to assisted living?
A proactive aging-in-place program like StillWell costs approximately $1,200–$2,400 in year one and ~$588/year ongoing. Assisted living facilities in the St. Louis Metro East typically cost $5,000–$8,000/month ($60,000–$96,000/year). Memory care runs $8,000–$12,000/month. That's a difference of 50–100x.
What is the ROI of fall prevention for seniors?
Research shows that targeted home modifications — grab bars, lighting, accessibility improvements — deliver a 345% ROI over three years. A single set of grab bars ($150–$400) can prevent falls that cost $20,000–$105,000 in medical care. Every dollar spent on prevention saves $28–$133 in potential medical costs.
Does home monitoring really delay facility placement?
Yes. Research indicates that families using passive in-home monitoring delay facility placement by an average of 2–4 years. At $5,000–$8,000/month for assisted living, that represents $120,000–$192,000 in preserved family savings.
What does StillWell Health cost?
A Home Safety Review is $249 (one-time, credited toward services). Enablement ranges from $50–$1,500 after credit. Monitoring is $0–$20/month (Essential) or $99/month (Premium with EnvoyatHome). Total first-year cost is typically $600–$2,400 depending on tier, with ongoing monitoring from $0–$99/month.
