When did you last
really check if
Mum is safe
at home?

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.

The reality
The risks are usually invisible — until something happens

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.

Falls & Trip Hazards

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.

Missed Medication

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.

No Way to Call for Help

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.

Isolation & Disconnection

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 complete picture of your parent's home — and what it needs

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.

What makes Holm different
Technology matters.
People matter more.

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.
