D*GLOW · Aging in Place
The Clinical Answer to "Should We Stay, or Should We Sell."
A documented, evidence-based assessment built for the person at the center of this decision, built on the Wellness Home Score™ and a deeper clinical assessment designed specifically for this decision. Available for any home, at any value, this isn't limited to the luxury range the rest of the practice serves.

You're Not Just Caring for Them. You're Still Raising Your Own.
If you're in your 40s or 50s, there's a good chance you're already living this: a parent who may need to stay in their home longer, or move, and kids or a household of your own that still needs you fully present. You are not alone in this, a quarter of U.S. adults are in exactly this position right now, and the home decision is usually the piece that gets the least real help. That's what this is built to fix.
The Real Question
Most families answer this question in a crisis: a fall, a diagnosis, a hospital discharge. The decision gets made under pressure, not with a plan.
Almost no one answers it with evidence. Nobody has scored whether the home itself can actually support the next ten years, until now. This applies whether the home is worth $400,000 or $4 million; the decision is the same, and so is the evidence it deserves.
Why a Home Assessment, Not Just a Conversation
Families facing this decision are usually connected to good advice on care, finances, and family dynamics. What nobody offers is a documented, clinical answer on the one thing the whole decision turns on: the home itself.
This assessment is built on the Wellness Home Score™, a 10-domain, 100-point clinical home audit, combined with a deeper clinical assessment designed specifically for aging in place.
The Wellness Home Score™, Applied
The Wellness Home Score™: 10 Domains, 100 Points
Scored across 50 verified criteria. 85–100 Longevity-Ready · 70–84 Strong Foundation · 50–69 Conditional · Below 50 Reconsider.
For aging in place, every domain applies, and two carry the most direct weight: Movement & Layout and Recovery & Upgrade Potential.
The Aging-in-Place Clinical Overlay
The home-environment side of this decision is what the Wellness Home Score already measures. The other side, the person and the family, is where this overlay comes in: six modules built from the same comprehensive geriatric assessment framework used across geriatric medicine, applied here to a home, not a hospital.
Module 1
Functional & Fall-Risk Readiness
A walkthrough of daily activities against this specific home: bathing, dressing, transferring, meal prep, stairs, and entries.
Module 2
Cognitive & Environmental Safety Cueing
Lighting, visual contrast, kitchen safety, and medication organization, scored for how well the home supports daily independence.
Module 3
Caregiver Capacity & Social Connection
A realistic look at who's available to help, and whether the home could support a caregiver if one is ever needed.
Module 4
Financial & Legal Readiness Signals
A simple readiness flag on whether power of attorney, advance directive, and estate planning conversations have happened. Never legal advice.
Module 5
Advance Care & Family Goals Conversation Readiness
Whether the family has actually talked about where and how they want to age, with a facilitated conversation available separately as Family Care Conferencing.
Module 6
Care-Team Continuity
How staying or moving affects access to an existing doctor, pharmacy, and hospital, handled only at the family's own disclosure.
Informational only; not medical, legal, or financial advice. Framework sources: comprehensive geriatric assessment domains (Nursing Older People), CDC STEADI fall-risk framework, AARP HomeFit standard, VA Whole Health Circle of Health model.
What Happens After the Assessment
- •A documented report: a clear, evidence-based answer, not a guess.
- •If staying is the right answer, a prioritized, cost-banded upgrade plan for exactly what this home needs.
- •If a specific gap is flagged, a referral to the right trusted professional, by name: a geriatric care manager, elder law attorney, occupational therapist, senior move manager, or financial advisor.
- •If selling is the honest answer, expert positioning and representation for the home, at any price point.

About Deepti
My career began in clinical social work at Stanford Medicine, where I supported patients and families navigating complex health and life transitions, before eventually launching and leading innovative clinics and care delivery models.
Over 23 years, I advanced into health system leadership and enterprise strategy, ultimately serving as SVP of Enterprise Whole Health Technology Strategy at Anthem. I've worked across integrated care delivery, value-based models, oncology, transplant, geriatric, concierge, and primary care.
Before real estate, I ran Stanford's geriatrics clinic, palliative medicine service, and cancer center. The Wellness Home Score™ and this overlay are that same clinical background, applied to the one environment nobody else is measuring, regardless of what that home is worth.
