Veteran-owned, firefighter-led home safety consultations for older adults and their families in the Chippewa Valley. We are not a medical agency. Snowbirds.

Start with a $150 Home Safety & Readiness Audit. Custos Hub by Rockwell adds environmental and activity awareness. We bridge the gap between hospital care and independent living. Rockwell Home Management serves the "Missing Middle": older adults who are ready to be home but whose homes aren't ready for them. We are property stewards who ensure the home is safe, functional, and living-ready. We serve three groups across Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire:

1. Aging-in-Place Older Adults. We handle the ladders, the furnace filters, and the icy walkways so you don't have to.

2. The Sandwich Generation. We are the local eyes and ears for adult children in the Twin Cities and beyond who are concerned about their parents' homes.

3. We pair in-person home checks with Custos Hub by Rockwell activity awareness to protect your biggest asset while you winter away. Our promise: you call us, we manage the house. From changing a lightbulb to coordinating a plumber, we are your single point of contact for protecting both your property and your independence. Every relationship begins with a $150 Home Safety & Readiness Audit.

"Range. Maintenance item. Open." That's the kind of line you'd find in a written report. It's accurate. But if you're reading it from three states away, you're still left wondering which range, how old it is, and what it looks like.

Written notes are good at telling you what. They're not as good at showing you where. I've written plenty of them, and I know how much gets lost between what I saw standing in the room and what a family pictures reading it later.

In the Rockwell Home Record we're building, each item gets a pin right where it lives in the 3D walkthrough, with a photo, a note and its status. Tap the pin and it walks you straight there. Same goes for a raised threshold at the bathroom door, or the one railing on the basement stairs. You don't have to picture it. You can see it.

The report and the Home Record are meant to work together. One tells you what we found and what to do first. The other lets everyone in the family see it with their own eyes. Custos Hub by Rockwell adds awareness of temperature, water and leaks, and household activity between visits.

The Home Record is still a prototype, and these photos are from my own kitchen. Want to be among the first to try it? Start with the $150 Rockwell Aging in Place Home Review. Your $150 is credited to your account. Call (715) 255-0235.

Here's a question I'd put to any family where one person carries most of the day-to-day for a parent: what happens to the person you look after if something happens to you?

Aging Untold ran a segment on this, and their experts, Sam Cradduck and Katherine Ambrose, cover the planning side well.

Their advice comes down to having at least two people who can step in quickly, keeping a binder up to date, and talking about it as a family before anything goes wrong.

Also, the same goes for your animals and pets. Have a plan for someone to feed and care for them while you are hospitalized or incapacitated.

I'll add the part I know from the other side of the door. As a firefighter and paramedic, the first things we look for are a way in that doesn't involve forcing the door if we can avoid it, and a sheet on the refrigerator with instructions for EMS or First Responders. It's a small thing to set up, and it can change the whole night for everyone involved.

The other piece is the house itself. When one person carries the day-to-day, they're usually the one who'd realize the house was running cold. Custos Hub by Rockwell keeps configured temperature, humidity, leak, and activity readings on the home, and when one goes out of range, it texts the family and me at the same time, so whoever is on the backup list hears about it too. I follow up during service hours.

If you'd like help sorting out the house side of your plan, the $150 Rockwell Aging in Place Home Review is the starting point. I walk through it with you, and you get a written list ordered by what matters most. You stay in charge of what happens next. If your family adds Custos Hub, we credit $150 to your account.

For years I've walked into homes I'd never seen before, usually on the worst day a family has had in a while. As a firefighter and paramedic, the first thing you do is learn the layout fast: where the stairs are, how tight the hallway is, how you'd get someone from the bedroom to the front door. You can't get that from a description.

You have to see it.

That's the idea behind something new we're building at Rockwell: the Rockwell Home Record available in 3D.

During a walkthrough, an iPhone captures the rooms with real photos and real measurements. Afterward, the family can move through a 3D version of the house on a phone or computer, room by room.

The written report from a Home Review isn't going anywhere. It tells you what needs attention and what comes first. The Home Record is meant to show you where.

It will sit alongside Custos Hub by Rockwell, so the family has one place to see the layout of the home and its day to day environmental and activity awareness, without cameras.

Over the next week I'll share how families, and the people who help care for them, might put it to work.

Want to be among the first homes to try it?

Here's a ten-minute job for this weekend. Find the main water shutoff at your house or your parents' and hang a tag on it so the next person can get to it fast.

As a firefighter, I've stood in more than one wet basement while somebody hunted for that valve with a flashlight. Usually, it was behind boxes or painted over. If it won't turn, don't force it. Call a plumber. Or better yet, hire Rockwell to install an automatic shutoff valve and you can just forget about it.

Custos Hub by Rockwell keeps configured leak, temperature, humidity, and activity readings in the home, and out-of-range texts go to the family and to me at the same time.

When a parent starts needing a little more help at home, most families I meet end up with a patchwork. There's a medical alert button on a lanyard, a box of smart-home sensors that never quite got set up, a handyman who comes when he can, and a neighbor who checks the mail. Every piece of that is usually somebody doing their best.

What the patchwork often lacks is one person who knows the whole house. As a firefighter and paramedic, I walked into plenty of homes where the family had covered a lot of the bases, but nobody had looked at how the pieces fit together. The button was in a bedroom drawer, the spare key was with a neighbor who was out of town, and the furnace hadn't been looked at in years.

That's the gap I built Rockwell around. It starts with a walk-through of the home with you and a written list ordered by what matters most. For anything you'd rather hand off, I bring in insured local tradespeople I already know here in the Valley, because I'd rather keep the work in town. You stay in charge of every decision.

Custos Hub by Rockwell ties into the house itself. It logs temperature, humidity, leak, and activity readings, and when one goes out of range, it texts the family and me at the same time. I follow up during service hours. Cameras aren't standard, and we add them only if a family asks.

If your family's patchwork could use a second look, the $150 Rockwell Aging in Place Home Review is the place to start. If your family adds Custos Hub, we credit your $150 to your account.

Nobody wants just an audit of their home. They want to stay in it.

That's what the Rockwell Aging in Place Home Review is for. Same walkthrough and same $150 as our Home Safety & Readiness Audit, now with a name that fits what it really is. We walk your home with you, room by room, and look at everything that goes into living there on your own terms: fire and life safety, falls and mobility, climate, security, home systems, emergency plans, and keeping your important records in order. It includes a full home safety consultation.

Then we write it all up in plain English and help coordinate the fixes, so you and your family know what's next.

The review is also where we learn how your home and your routine actually work. That's how we set up Custos Hub by Rockwell for your home, with activity awareness, environmental alerts, and hands-free calling. No pendant to wear or remember. Just say your wake word and the Hub calls someone from a list you choose. (It's not an emergency service and doesn't call 911.)

Live in Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, or St. Paul while Mom or Dad is here in the Chippewa Valley? We hear from a lot of you. We'll walk the home with them and, with their OK, send you the write-up too.

Lesson #6: Sometimes the fix is simple. Having someone nearby is what matters.

We got our first service call: the voice hub wasn't responding. I drove over, took a look, and found the speaker volume had been turned the wrong way, all the way down.

Two minutes later, everything was working.

It's a small thing, but it's exactly why local matters. A family member three hours away can't swing by and turn a k**b. We can.

Custos Hub by Rockwell comes with a real local person behind it. Call or text (715) 255-0235 to book a Home Safety & Readiness Audit and start the conversation. If a monthly plan turns out to be right for your family, that $150 is credited toward your first month.

That wraps up this round of Lessons from the Field. Thanks for following along. More to come. 🏡

Lesson #5: The basement is the room you stop checking.

When stairs get harder, the basement quietly becomes out of sight, out of mind. That's where humidity, musty air, and temperature swings can build up unnoticed.

We placed a temperature and humidity sensor downstairs at our client's home. Even this early, we're seeing a real difference between upstairs and the basement. It gives her a read on conditions down there without making the trip, and we expect it to be even more useful once humid season comes back around.

That sensor is part of Custos Hub by Rockwell. Want to talk about what it could look like in your home? Call or text (715) 255-0235 to book a Home Safety & Readiness Audit. If a monthly plan turns out to be right for your family, that $150 is credited toward your first month.
