Fall Prevention for Seniors
We understand that falls can significantly impact the lives of seniors, not just physically but also in terms of their independence. That's why we've developed the Safe and Steady fall prevention program to stop this from happening. Our program works on minimizing the risks of slips, trips, and falls at your loved one's home.

How Senior Fall Prevention Can Help
Did you know that most falls happen in or near the home? That's why our senior living program can be a huge help in preventing these and working on decreasing the risks. Our caregiver will come to your loved one's home and thoroughly analyze all the potential risk factors, whether that's slippery rugs around their living space or stairs without railings. We can also help in assisted living
We'll create a personalized program tailored specifically to their home and needs so your loved one isn't one of the statistics. In addition, we have a Safe and Steady Fall Prevention Resource Guide that you can read through in the meantime.
Visiting Angels also provides a variety of other services, including the following:
