Home Care Services in Falmouth

As we age, our risk of injury due to falls increases, as does our risk of serious complications from a fall. The overwhelming majority of these accidents occur inside the home. At Visiting Angels^® Cape Cod our home care services in Falmouth help protect your aging loved one by working to prevent falls in the first place.

Even when a fall does not result in an extended hospitalization, it can become a source of great anxiety for your loved one. They may begin avoiding activities, let chores build up or even stop drinking enough water out of hesitancy of multiple trips to the bathroom. Thus begins a cycle of declining emotional and physical health. Our home care services are designed to maintain and/or restore confidence and security to your loved one, so they can remain in the comfort of their home in Falmouth.

Many factors contribute to the risk of falls in the elder population, such as:

• Medications
• Loose footwear
• Poor lighting--especially on staircases
• Insufficient railings and/or grab bars
• Flooring transitions
• Rugs

In addition to helping assess your loved one’s home for potential fall risks, our home care services provide assistance with tasks and activities where the risk of falling may be high. For example, our companion care assistance aides with everyday chores that require bending, light lifting, reaching for high items, and going up and down stairs. Our personal care services help your loved one with things like safe and gentle bathing, grooming and dressing, walking, and more.
