Fall Prevention
Fall Prevention and Protection for Senior and Older Adults
Fall prevention for seniors and older adults is one of premier home care services. With falling being a common occurrence in aging adults we understand the importance of preventing it. With seniors, falling can become severe and lead to other health issues. This is why here at Alex Comfort Living we’re adamant about doing all in our power to prevent it from happening. As a caring and compassionate home care agency, we are proud to display how much emphasis we put on senior fall protection.
How we prevent and protect seniors from falling
Our senior fall protection plan revolves around changing daily habits and modifying your living space so you can remain safe while in your own home. Like for all of our in-home care services, we follow standard industry protocols to assure we’re accurate and successful. For fall prevention this includes clearing pathways and removing items that serve as potential threats. However, our thoughtful caregivers also go above and beyond by developing each fall prevention plan based on your particular household and its layout. Specific measures we take for older adults and senior fall prevention are:
- Removing any furniture, boxes and large items that are blocking your pathway
- Taking away small rugs on the floor or firmly taping them down so they don’t become loose
- Using bright lights throughout the home so you can easily see where you’re going
- Checking with nurse and pharmacist to see if any medications cause dizziness or sleepiness
- Ensuring that you are using the proper support tools such as canes, walkers and more every time you stand or walk.
- And much more
