Home Care Services in Middletown

If you’re caring for an aging loved one and worried about the idea of them falling, you should know that home care services provided at their Middletown home are one of the best ways you can help keep them safe.

You’re right to be concerned about the likelihood of your loved one falling. The leading cause of non-fatal and fatal injuries for adults 65 and older is falling. The good news is, most of these falls are largely preventable. There are a few key steps you can take to mitigate any risk:

1. Schedule a medical evaluation for fall risk. Your loved one’s doctor will conduct a thorough exam of any potential issues that could lead to a fall. Don’t forget to ask about any medications, including OTC supplements, that might contribute to drowsiness or loss of balance.
2. Follow through with recommended specialists. It's especially important to be sure your loved one stays current with eye and hearing exams or any foot or leg issues.
3. Consider home care services. Having the assistance of a caregiver in the home can help mitigate fall risks and keep your loved one safe at home.
