Home Care Services in Upper Arlington

As our senior loved ones grow older, their risk of falling increases. Thankfully, research shows that seniors can lessen their risk of a serious injury with fall prevention. At Visiting Angels^® Columbus West, we recognize how vital fall prevention is for seniors in our community. That’s why our home care services in Upper Arlington include services that help seniors avoid trips, slips, and falls. 

Home Care with Fall Prevention from Visiting Angels Columbus West 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, falls are the leading cause of fatal injury among older adults. Even more troubling, more than 95% of hip fractures are the result of falls, and half of those injured never regain the function and mobility they once had. More often than not, falls are life-changing events that strip seniors of the freedoms they enjoy. 

Thankfully, there are ways to reduce the risk of falls. Modifications to the home are a good example. Add grab bars in the bathroom, non-slip mats in the tub, or reflective tape on staircases to make mobility safer. Even something as simple as putting regularly used items in easy-to-reach locations can make a big difference. 

Home care services from Visiting Angels Columbus West are another effective way to lessen fall risks. Our caregivers are available 24 hours a day on an hourly basis to help our clients stay safe while maintaining their independent lifestyles. 

Just a few examples of how they can lessen your loved one’s risk of injury include:

• Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting
• Providing a steady hand while using stairs or getting out of bed 
• Assisting with light housekeeping and organizing
• Preparing meals and snacks
• Ensuring walkways are free from clutter and trip hazards
