Guest Bio
Sydney Hughes is the Founder and CEO of Senior Proof™
Sydney Hughes is the Founder and CEO of Senior Proof™, creator of the nation's first Aging-in-Place Platform and Support System. Her mission began the day she picked her father up
off the floor after a fall, a moment that revealed a critical gap in how families protect aging loved ones at home. With 18 years of construction experience, Sydney has led the installation of more than 10,000 safety measures and home modifications nationwide, helping prevent falls and make aging at home safer and more dignified. Senior Proof™ combines clinician-led evaluations, ADA-compliant solutions, ongoing Peace-of-Mind Check-Ins, and connected technology to support families across every stage of aging. Senior Proof™ operates in five states and is scaling nationwide through a strategic partnership with 248 Lowe's stores, and is trusted by partners including UnitedHealthcare, the Department of Elder Affairs, HUD and the Parkinson's Foundation. Sydney is a nationally recognized thought leader, CAPS-certified professional, winner of the BankUnited Small Business Big Dreams Challenge, and a speaker on global strategy for aging in place and fall prevention at the United Nations and the Silver Economy Forum. Sydney Hughes is building the future of aging in place, focused on preventing falls and saving lives.
