Falls Prevention
Falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults, but many falls can be prevented. Our Falls Prevention Program is designed to keep patients safe and independent by addressing strength, balance, mobility, and home safety. Our therapists work one-on-one with patients to improve physical stability while also educating families on ways to reduce risk. The goal is confidence, safety, and independence at home.
Personalized Assessments
Our program begins with a comprehensive assessment of each patient’s unique risk factors. Clinicians evaluate mobility, balance, medication use, home environment, and medical history to identify potential hazards. This allows us to develop a personalized care plan focused on prevention, safety, and maintaining independence.
Strengthening and Mobility Support
Physical strength, flexibility, and balance are key factors in preventing falls. Our skilled therapists work with patients to develop tailored exercise programs that improve stability, endurance, and confidence in movement. These exercises are safe, practical, and adaptable to individual abilities, helping patients regain control over daily activities.
Home Safety Guidance
Many falls occur due to environmental hazards that can be easily modified. Our team provides guidance on home adjustments such as removing loose rugs, improving lighting, installing grab bars, and optimizing furniture placement. These changes, combined with our personalized care plans, significantly reduce the risk of accidents and create a safer living environment.
Medication Review and Education
Certain medications can increase the likelihood of dizziness or balance issues. Our clinicians review prescribed medications with patients and physicians to identify potential risks and ensure proper usage. We educate patients and caregivers about medication effects, warning signs, and strategies to maintain safety while taking medications as directed.
Supporting Families and Caregivers
Families play a vital role in fall prevention. Our program equips caregivers with knowledge, tools, and strategies to support patients safely at home. We teach safe transfer techniques, provide guidance on monitoring mobility, and offer emotional support to reduce caregiver stress.
