One in three people over 65 falls every year. Most of these falls happen at home, in places we walk past every day without noticing. A patterned rug that looks like a step. A bath with no grab rail. A path from the bedroom to the toilet at 2am with no light. NICE guideline NG249 explicitly recommends home hazard assessments to reduce falls in older people, and the evidence is clear: a structured check, followed by a few simple changes, prevents hospital admissions.

This check is designed for families, not occupational therapists. You do not need any clinical training. You walk around the home with the checklist, tick Yes or No against each item, and end up with a clear list of what to fix and where to get free help to fix it.

What is included:

• Outside the home checklist covering paths, steps, handrails, lighting, and the route to the front door
• Inside the home general checklist covering floors, rugs, furniture, electrical safety, and heaters
• Hall, stairs, and landing checklist with handrails, carpet, lighting, and stairs clear of hazards
• Bathroom checklist (the highest risk room in the house) with grab rails, non slip mats, water temperature, and emergency door access
• Bedroom and night safety checklist covering bed height, the route to the toilet at night, lighting, and a phone within reach
• Kitchen checklist covering storage heights, cooker safety, fire safety, and floor mats
• Smoke and carbon monoxide alarm checklist
• A dementia-specific safety section covering cooker shut-offs, key safes, patterned rugs, medication storage, and door alarms
• A “free help most families do not know about” panel covering occupational therapy, the Disabled Facilities Grant (up to £30,000), free fire service home safety visits, and council telecare
• A “Top 3 things to fix this week” priority box that turns dozens of tick boxes into clear actions
• An emergency turn-off contacts table with the National Gas Emergency number pre-filled
