Planning an Effective Fall Prevention Program

Did you know that falls are the primary cause of injury, disability, and nursing home placement for seniors? Still, one in every three persons 65 years old and older suffers at least one fall every year. Many of these falls lead to hospitalization.

Fall prevention is an important goal in senior home care and we make it a priority to increase awareness of the risks of falling and work together with the client to make their homes safer.

Home Safety Assessment

A critical step in our new client assessment is a Home Safety Evaluation. During this process, we will evaluate your loved one’s home with the goal of identifying potential hazards and reducing the probability of a fall. Fall prevention monitoring continues throughout as our caregivers are trained to identify and reduce risks.

Falls Prevention Exercises for Seniors

Moreover, our competent, capable, and loving caregivers can help clients follow fall prevention exercises that lower the risk of falling by improving strength, balance, and endurance, as per PT instructions.

The people who are at a higher risk of falling are those who present muscle weakness and impaired balance. The Lotus Home Health Care works with you and your elderly love ones in identifying the health conditions that may cause a fall and its related injuries and then creates a fall-prevention plan.
