Keep the people you love safe, comfortable, independent, and at home.

Hemgaard is a home safety check-up team for aging in place. Our core product is the check-up: a specialist assessment of a private home — and the life lived in it — reviewed by a specialist panel. For families who want the retrofit or smart-home installations done, we also manage it end to end.

Most often, adult children who want this check-up to keep a parent safe, independent, and at home — without waiting for a fall to force a decision. It's equally for older adults who want to assess and adapt their own home in advance.

First, we hold a short pre-consultation to understand the need; once we've decided together that the check-up is the right step, the home visit is scheduled. On the agreed day and time, our dedicated team of two experts visits the home. After a brief orientation, they hold a comprehensive Q&A interview with the resident and survey and scan the home room by room (60 min). After the visit, follow-up interviews with family and any caretakers can be held online (30 min). Our specialist panel — geriatrician, physiotherapist, architect — reviews the findings and assesses both the current picture and what's likely to be needed in the near term. All interviews are confidential and interview notes are not shared.

The visit is efficient; the rigor is in what follows. On site we spend about 60 minutes on the interview, survey, and scan. Where needed, after the visit we conduct roughly 30 minutes of follow-up interviews online with family and caretakers.

We then build the artifacts, review them with our design team and specialist panel, and deliver your Age-in-place Comfort Report within 7 days of the visit. Finally, we schedule a 60-minute session to walk you through the findings.

A proprietary Age-in-place Comfort Score (0–100) built from observations across 5 assessed dimensions, room-by-room findings, and a phased intervention plan proposal sorted by urgency.

Depth. A tool that takes a few uploaded photos or a walkthrough video sees surfaces. We assess the home, the resident's life, and how they actually move through the space — captured through on-site observation, a structured interview protocol, and a co-signing panel. Every home we assess refines our method; a commodity photo tool has nothing that compounds.

Yes — this is a private home, and we treat it that way. Any photos, images, or video of the home are strictly confidential and used solely to produce and deliver your report. We do not share, sell, or publish them, and access is limited to the people working on your project and the family members you authorize.

Check-up interview recordings and internal notes stay internal and are never posted to your portal.

If you want us to. The check-up is complete on its own — you own the report and its plan whether or not you build anything through us. When you do choose to act, we manage the entire retrofit through a vetted craftsperson network, with a single point of contact and a final quality walk-through on every job.

We recommend and install smart home devices — fall detection, an emergency button, a video doorbell with in-home screen, automated lighting — as a one-time part of the retrofit. We do not operate a monitoring service or sell a subscription. Once installed, the devices belong to the family, and any live monitoring runs through the device makers' own apps.

Istanbul, for now. On-site check-ups in other cities can be arranged when travel is covered. Expansion to Ankara and Copenhagen will follow.

Message us on WhatsApp at 0 535 875 11 70. We'll talk through your situation and the home's likely profile, and schedule the check-up. First available slots in Istanbul are typically two to three weeks out.
