About the author
Sarah Jenkins understands the delicate balance between keeping aging parents safe and honoring their independence because she's navigated it herself. After helping her own family evaluate home safety solutions, she discovered how unnecessarily complicated the process had become. Too much jargon, too many options, and not enough straight talk about what actually works in real homes for real people. She created Steady Home to cut through the noise and provide the practical, reassuring guidance she wishes she'd had from the start.
Sarah spends her time researching aging-in-place technology, testing smart home devices in everyday scenarios, and talking with occupational therapists, caregivers, and families about what solutions actually get used versus what sits in the box. She approaches every product recommendation and home modification tip with two questions: Will it genuinely reduce risk, and will Mom or Dad actually accept it? Her focus is always on maintaining dignity while creating safer living environments, one manageable step at a time. When she's not writing for Steady Home, she's usually comparing sensor options, reading installation manuals, or figuring out how to explain technical features in ways that don't require an engineering degree.
