Beginning with our initial, free consultation for home care services at your loved one’s Haddam-area home, we put fall prevention at the forefront. As part of our consultation, Visiting Angels® Portland CT will also conduct a thorough fall-risk assessment of your loved one’s home environment. We’ll immediately point out any potential risk factors and make suggestions for how each can be addressed.

There’s no doubt falling is a major concern for seniors and those who love them. Falls are actually the leading cause of injuries, both fatal and non-fatal, for adults 65 and over. But most falls are preventable--if the proper precautions are put in place. 

When considering your loved one’s likelihood for falling, it’s helpful to divide risk into two categories--medical and environmental. Our home care services in Haddam addresses the environmental piece but let’s talk for a moment about medical evaluation.

As you might imagine, determining medical risk should be addressed with your loved one’s doctor. Make a special appointment and request a full medical fall risk evaluation. Your loved one’s doc will take all their risk factors into consideration, including:

  • Hearing and/or vision loss
  • Cognitive issues
  • Medications
  • Muscle strength
  • Bone health
  • Nutrition
  • Hydration

Be sure to follow up with any specialists their doctor recommends as well as implementing any exercises. Even if they begin from a sitting position, seniors can help maintain muscle strength with simple movements, perhaps aided by the purchase of an inexpensive set of resistance bands.

At Visiting Angels Portland CT, we help your loved one tackle the environmental piece of the equation. By engaging with our trusted home care services for your Haddam-area loved one, you can drastically reduce their risk of suffering a life-altering fall. 

We can help with a myriad of tasks and activities, such as:

  • Mobility
  • Light household chores (bed changes, dishes, vacuuming, dusting, and more)
  • Medication reminders
  • Food and hydration reminders
  • Company and transportation to and from various appointments, errands, or visits
  • Grocery shopping
  • Prescription pick up
  • And much more
