Aging may make it harder for adults to walk and maintain their balance, which can increase the risk of falls. Serious injuries, including fractured bones, brain damage, and even death, may occur as a consequence of these incidents. This is why fall prevention measures are so important for families in Clovis, Fresno, and the neighboring communities. In order to assist elders in maintaining their independence and safety in their own homes, Visiting Angels has caregivers who have been trained to provide fall prevention services.

How Our Fall Prevention Services Can Help Seniors Avoid Potential Hazardous Falls in Fresno, CA, and The Nearby Areas

Fall rates among the elderly can be elevated due to several risk factors. Some examples of these include impaired muscular strength, unsteadiness, blurred eyesight, adverse drug reactions, and potential dangers in the house. Loss of balance and subsequent falls become more common as we get older since our bodies are naturally weaker. A senior's capacity to live independently may be compromised due to the lengthy healing period required for broken hips, a frequent ailment sustained in falls.

Support During the Transition After a Fall

A loved one who has suffered a fall-related injury or hospitalization may get transitional care from Visiting Angels to assist with their recovery and return to their normal activities. So that your loved one can concentrate on getting well, our caregivers can help with things like getting to and from appointments, reminding them to take their medicine, and doing everyday duties. We want your family's return home from the hospital to go off without a hitch, so our caregivers are available for you every step of the way.

Our Safe and Steady Fall Prevention Program

Visiting Angels provides a Safe and Steady Program to assist in making homes safer for those who are elderly or have mobility issues. All of our caregivers have received extensive training to recognize the signs of possible fall risks in the house and implement appropriate safety measures. Clutter removal, grab bar implementation, and proper lighting are all possible components of this. Making your loved one's home a haven of comfort and safety while they age in place is our first priority.
