In Home Care in Cañon City

At Visiting Angels^® Pueblo, we place a tremendous emphasis on fall prevention. We developed our Safe and Steady fall prevention program as an integrated part of all our in home care services in Cañon City. After all, our primary goal is to help your loved one remain living in their home as safely and happily as possible.

The statistics on senior falls is sobering. Falling is actually the number one cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries for adults 65 and older. Thankfully, many of these falls are largely preventable. We recommend taking the following steps:

1. Make an appointment with your loved one’s doctor. Ask for a complete medical, fall-risk evaluation and follow up with any specialist appointments recommended.
2. Help your loved one maintain muscle strength. Diminished muscle strength is a major contributor to senior falls. Make sure your loved one is making an effort to keep their muscles strong. One easy and inexpensive way to do this is by using resistance bands, starting small and working up toward the ability to support their own weight more effectively. 
3. Engage the services of a qualified home care provider like Visiting Angels Pueblo to help keep your loved one living at home safely.

When you schedule an initial, free consultation for in home care services in Cañon City, we will also conduct a thorough fall-risk assessment of your loved one’s living area and make any suggestions necessary.

Our carefully trained and compassionate caretakers know how to keep your loved one safe from falls. By performing tasks that require extra standing, bending, reaching, twisting, or even carrying light objects up or down stairs, we greatly reduce the likelihood of your family member suffering a needless fall.

In Cañon City, we can help with things like:

• Walking
• Bathing, dressing, and grooming
• Meal preparation
• Light housekeeping (linen changes, laundry, vacuuming, dishes, and more)
• Transportation to and from appointments, social events, and/or errands
• Food and water intake reminders 
• And much more
