Editorial policy

Help Mom Stay helps families research home modifications and connects them with local contractors. Here's how we keep what we publish honest and accurate.

Named, credentialed authors

Every guide is written by a named author whose credentials and background are published on their author page. We do not publish anonymous "staff writer" content.

Medical review

Aging-in-place decisions often touch on health and mobility, so where it matters we want a licensed occupational therapist to review the content. We only add a "medically reviewed by" byline when a real, named OT has reviewed that specific page — never as a generic trust badge. Until we've recruited a reviewer, our pages carry an author byline only.

We're a matchmaker, not a provider

Help Mom Stay connects homeowners with local, vetted contractors. We are not a medical provider, we do not give medical advice, and we do not manufacture or install anything ourselves. We don't publish fake reviews or invent credentials for the contractors we work with.

Funding and program information

Pages that describe funding programs (Medicare, Medicaid waivers, VA benefits, state and local grants) describe eligibility and program details factually and cite primary sources — CDC, NIA, VA, Medicare.gov, and Georgia DHS. We never promise that a program will cover a specific project. Program rules change, so every funding page shows a "last verified" date for when we last checked the source.

Corrections

If you spot something inaccurate, call (404) 602-2998 and we'll look into it.
