Home Care Services in Burien

Are you caring for an aging loved one who wants to continue to live at home but you worry about their safety? You’re right to be concerned, since the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injury for seniors is falling. But what you may not realize is that most falls are preventable. At Visiting Angels^® Seattle, our home care services in Burien can help your loved one remain living safely at home for years to come.

The best fall prevention plans take into account both medical and environmental risk. Medical risk should be addressed with the help of your loved one’s doctor. If you haven’t already, make an appointment to have a thorough medical fall-risk evaluation. Their doctor will carefully consider important risk factors, such as:

• Hearing loss
• Vision changes
• Medications
• Balance
• Cognitive issues
• Muscle strength
• Bone health

Just as important as the initial medical evaluation is making sure you follow up with any specialists their doctor recommends and/or strength-building techniques.

At Visiting Angels Seattle, our caretakers are well versed in fall safety. Our Safe and Steady fall prevention program is designed to be an integral part of our home care services. During our initial free consultation at your loved one’s Burien-area home, we will make a full assessment of their home environment and identify any potential hazards.

Once we’ve established safety protocols, we get to work helping your loved one with a multitude of tasks that can dramatically lower if not eliminate their risk of falling. Our caring and compassionate caretakers can help with things like:

• Medication reminders
• Food and water intake reminders 
• Housework chores like linen changes, vacuuming, dishes, dusting, and more
• Mobility assistance
• Errands
• Transportation and accompaniment to and from appointments, errands, or social visits
• And much more
