Home Care Services in Sandy Plains

If you know an aging loved one who is hoping to remain living in their home, but you’re worried about the potential for a dangerous fall, there is a lot you can do to avoid the danger. The good news is, most senior falls are actually preventable. Our home care services from Visiting Angels North San Diego County are one major way you can help prevent your loved one in Sandy Falls from falling and provide peace of mind to your entire family.

A comprehensive fall prevention strategy should consist of the following three steps:

1. Doctor’s visit. Make an appointment with your loved one’s doctor and request a thorough evaluation of their fall risk. See appropriate specialists like ophthalmologists and podiatrists, as recommended. Ask about any risks related to medications they are taking, OTC supplements, and the combinations of both. Tell your doctor about any previous falls.
2. Maintain muscle strength. Encourage your loved one to maintain strength in their legs, arms, and hand muscles. Consider purchasing a set of inexpensive resistance bands and work with them to keep up this vital task.
3. Reach out to us to schedule a free consultation for home care services, including a thorough, no-cost fall-risk evaluation of your loved one’s home environment in Sandy Plains.

The leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries in people 65 and older is falling. At Visiting Angels Marietta, we take falling seriously. That’s why we developed our Safe and Steady fall prevention program. Not only do we provide our initial, free fall-risk assessment, but we integrate our fall risk program into all our home care.
