I have a young friend with a learning disability. She checks in on FourSquare, and it helps her parents to know where she is.
I tried what you said, Andy, and adding the place doesn't come up. When I go into the search bar, different things show up. When I type in what I want my home to be called, it won't find it. I have seen the example of BatCave FourSquare gives, but it's nowhere near my home.

For safety reasons, I wouldn't call it something like "My house". The screen will populate with a bunch of results, but what you need to do is to go to the end of the list, and you should see something like "Add a location". Double tap on that and follow the prompts. Personally, I can see little reason to make your home a location, unless you really want to become the mayor of something. One reason that I have heard is that if you hold parties or other functions at your home, you can ask guests to check in, and you will have an idea who is there, and fellow guests can see who has checked in. Kind of a neat way for blind folks to know who's there, providing that your guests are into 4square.

I've tried searching for my address, but it doesn't come up. Can someone tell me how this is done? Thanks.
