Falls pose a significant risk to seniors, more than 1 in 4 older adults fall annually in the USA, leading to more than 3 million emergency room visits each year, and the number one cause of injury related death, disability, and loss of independence among seniors. The negative consequences of even non-injurious falls-loss of mobility, increased anxiety about falling, a spiral of decline in strength and mobility-can be profound.<\/p>\n

Many falls are preventable. Issues like mobility challenges, visual impairments, mobility problems, medication side effects, poor lighting, and cluttered living spaces and balance issues – all contribute to falls. Preventive steps, such as strength and balance training, vision testing, home hazard corrections, and supervised mobility assistance can sharply reduce the fall risk and preserve independence.<\/p>\n

Assisting Hands Home Care Tampa Bay offers a personalized fall-prevention plan that combines best clinical practices with nurturing in-home assistance. During the in-person assessments, our clinical assessors perform a targeted home safety evaluation, consult with clients’ clinicians to alert them to medication or mobility concerns, aid in transfers and safe ambulation, suggest installations of grab bars and better lighting, and implement training on routine practices that restore confidence. The outcome: reduced falls, reduced emergency room visits, and greater independent living.<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div> <\/div><\/div>
