Every family reaches the moment of quiet worry: is mum really managing? This assessment answers that question properly. A senior clinician spends 90 minutes at home reviewing health, memory, medicines, nutrition, falls risk and home safety — and produces a plain-English written plan: what to change now, what to watch, and when to review.
Is this right for me?
Mum has had a fall
Dad seems more confused

Managing medication is becoming difficult
They're struggling at home
They've recently been in hospital
You're worried but don't know exactly why

Who is this assessment for?
Older people whose family are worried — whether about falls, confusion, weight loss, medication, or just a sense that they're struggling. It's designed to find out how someone is really doing.
How long does it take?
The assessment visit is unhurried, typically 20–30 minutes of hands-on assessment within a longer, relaxed visit.
Can I arrange it for my parent?
Yes — this is very often arranged by an adult son or daughter, with the parent's consent.
What do we get afterwards?
A clear written report with practical recommendations, and help arranging any follow-up support.
Will you talk to me as well as my parent?
With your parent's consent, yes — we involve family in understanding the findings and next steps.
