Personalized Fall Prevention Support Through Empowering Senior Home Care
Fall prevention is important for seniors, and it’s something we approach with individualized care plans. Everyone is unique, and our in-home senior care services support the many unique routines, mobility levels, and preferences of each family and senior we work with.
From the moment of your very first consultation, we are working to understand the risks and challenges you face. Seniors have more risk factors than others because they’re more vulnerable to things like decreased strength and mobility, loss of coordination, poor eyesight, hearing loss, stiff joints, cognitive disorders, or even their medications. Because some of these risk factors are temporary, while others are permanent, we take the time to develop a specialized care plan tailored to their specific lifestyle and needs.
Additional Services to Support Fall Prevention
Our caregivers are Visiting Angels in Milford, MA, aim to solve the daily safety concerns seniors face with compassion. Any combination of the risk factors they face may increase the likelihood of a fall occurring.
Small adjustments and additions to the home can make a world of a difference. A senior who finds themselves struggling to balance when getting in and out of bed would greatly benefit from the physical assistance of a caregiver and from installing a bed rail for extra support. Safety bars installed in a shower and bathing area provide extra grip and support, helping to prevent slips while bathing. Removing area rugs and other tripping hazards in the home to ensure walkways are clear and easy to move through is another simple way we ensure the home is as safe as can be.
Every day, we help seniors complete tasks safely and confidently. By reducing the fear of falling, we empower seniors to remain active, mobile, and engaged in their daily lives.
Senior home care has many variables, and we adapt to provide the services you and your loved one need so they're able to maintain a level of independence and a higher quality of life. Through these additional services and care plans we are able to offer, we provide a comprehensive and well-rounded experience.
