About this printable
Inside: before you go in (your key details and a box for movement instructions), a clean space to heal in, clear routes and a safer bathroom, everything within reach at the bed and chair, easy food and drink, cheap things that help, and how Kari can get the home ready for you.
It is practical home prep, not medical advice. If your surgeon or physio has given you movement instructions (for example, after a hip or knee operation), those come first.
The main file is the colour version shown in the pictures. A low-ink copy of the same pages is included as an extra, for when ink is short. Both are the same 8 pages, each in A4 and in US Letter (8.5 x 11 in). Instant download after checkout; print at home, for personal use. Nothing is posted.
Why this checklist:
- Made by Kari, a professional organiser in West London, from how she gets a home ready for someone coming home.
- Written for UK homes, in plain English: metres, skirting boards, heating controls.
- Tick boxes and space to write, so a helper can take a page and do it.
The last page is about getting it done for you, with free tools from Kari.
