Our Home Support Services for Seniors Includes Fall Prevention in the Greater Benton, AR, Area

Falls are a leading cause of serious injury among the elderly, who account for around one-third of all such injuries each year. Seniors suffer disproportionately more severe injuries from falls. Many fall-related injuries can cause permanent disability or even death.

Hip fractures, in particular, are a primary health concern. There is a significant danger of life-threatening complications after a hip fracture, and recovery may take up to a year. The majority of seniors who suffer from a hip fracture never fully recover from the injury, and as a direct result of this, many elderly people are forced to give up their freedom.

The good news is that it is possible to prevent many falls. The majority of the factors that lead to elderly people falling may be avoided with the help of professional home support services for seniors.

Some of the most common risk factors for fall-related injuries include:

  • Decreased strength
  • Poor coordination
  • Limited mobility
  • Reduced eyesight
  • Hearing loss
  • Stiff or painful joints
  • Health complications
  • Cognitive disorders
  • Side effects from multiple medications

How Senior Care Services from Visiting Angels Can Help

More than seventy-five percent of all significant falls occur in or near the home. Therefore, it is crucial to implement safety precautions at home; doing so may prevent most falls. Our Safe and Steady fall prevention program at Visiting Angels of Benton may help minimize the chance of a slip, trip, or fall occurring in your loved one's home.

Here's how our caregivers can help your loved one stay safe with our home support services for seniors:

  • With mobility assistance, we can help your loved one get out of bed and get from room to room safely
  • By helping with light housekeeping, our senior care providers can declutter walkways and reduce the chance of tripping over things on the floor.
  • Our caregivers can help your loved one get in and out of the bathtub, a common place for falls.
