Most falls don't happen because someone is unwell. They happen because a home was never properly assessed for the risks of living alone. Holm changes that.
No obligation, no pressure.
Just an honest conversation about your parent's home.
Most families assume they'd notice if their parent's home had become unsafe. But the risks that cause the most harm aren't dramatic. They're quiet. A worn carpet edge. A bathroom visited twice in the night without a light. A front door left unlocked because the lock is stiff.
You can't see these things in a Sunday visit. You'd need to know exactly where to look.
Lighting, floor surfaces, thresholds, bathroom access. The leading causes of falls are entirely preventable — but only if you know where to look and what to change.
Up to 50% of elderly people living alone don't take medication as prescribed. Without a reliable system, the health consequences compound quietly over months and years.
If something happens at 3am, can your parent reach someone? For most people living alone, the honest answer is no. This is the single most important thing to address.
Loneliness is now recognised as a serious health risk for older people. Regular human contact — someone who genuinely checks in — isn't a luxury. It's essential care.
A Holm specialist visits the home and evaluates it carefully across every area that matters for independent living. You receive a detailed, plain-English report with an Independence Score and clear, prioritised recommendations.
No jargon. No overwhelming lists. Just an honest picture of what's working and what isn't.
A qualified Holm specialist spends time in the home, room by room, across six key areas of independent living.
Safety, health, communication, security, comfort, and cognitive support — each scored and explained in plain English.
A personalised Independence Report delivered the same day. Your overall score, what it means, and what to prioritise.
A follow-up call with your assessor to answer questions and decide together on the right next steps — no pressure, no obligation.
Several meaningful opportunities identified across safety and communication.
Every Holm client has a dedicated team who call regularly, get to know their parent personally, and notice when something seems different. Not a call centre. Not a rotation of strangers. The same small team, consistently, over time.
This is what families tell us matters most. The people who actually know your mum.
"I hadn't realised how many small risks were in Mum's home until the Holm assessment. The report was a genuine eye-opener. It wasn't frightening — it was just honest, and it gave us a clear plan.
