An older adult's quality of life might vary dramatically after a significant fall. Following a fall, a person's physical condition deteriorates; their mental and social life may also suffer. An older adult frightened of falling may decline social invites, skip significant family gatherings, or spend the day at home. Being alone yourself may cause anxiety, loneliness, and a disconnection from others.

Finding probable risk factors and addressing any household hazards can help prevent some falls. Still, long-term health issues and risky conduct might also play a part. Seniors in Spartanburg, Greer, Taylors, and the surrounding areas have avoided risky falls because of our elder care services in their homes.

Visiting Angels of Spartanburg Home Health Aides are Committed to Fall Prevention for Seniors in Duncan, SC, and nearby cities.

Falls often occur as a result of one or more risk factors. A person's home setting, health, or a preexisting medical condition might all be considered risk factors. Here are a few things that might put elders at risk for falls:

• Knee Pain
• Reduced vision
• Managing several prescriptions
• Hydration Loss
• The bathroom lacks grab bars, and the shower and bathtub flooring must be covered against trips and falls.
• The stairs are dark and need railings.

Many falls may be prevented for your elderly loved ones if risk factors are identified and addressed early.

Stopping older people from falling is still a big problem, especially for those without walking aids. As part of their job, Visiting Angels of Spartanburg's home health workers teach adults, their families, and healthcare experts how to avoid falling. We know this advice is essential for the long-term health of our customers.

What Role Can Visiting Angels' In-Home Care Services Play in Ensuring the Safety of Seniors in the Spartanburg Area?

Preventing older people from falling is always a concern. An aid like a cane or chair could be helpful. Our in-home workers teach adults and their families to avoid falls and keep them healthy and safe.

To assist elders in preventing falls, family members or our trained in-home caregivers may do things like:

• Services in light cleaning assist in house organization.
• Turn up the brightness in your home
• Add handrails and lighting to the staircases.
• Put in grab bars and check the dry bathroom flooring.
• Use walkers and canes, among other walking aids.
• Keep a phone in an easily accessible area.
• Consider a medical alert bracelet.
• Put regularly used items within reach.
• Older persons should be advised about the risks of misreading prescriptions, compromising their balance and mobility.
• Help elderly persons to use the stairs and go from one room to another without mishaps.
• We help senior citizens avoid slippery places and adequately enter and leave the tub.

Families in the Spartanburg area have depended on visiting angels to keep them from falling. We make meals that are good for seniors and help them stay strong. When we do in-home adult care, we do things differently than other home care providers in the area: we focus on the person. That means that a care plan is made and followed that is specific to each client's wants, tastes, and daily schedule. Our services may help your loved one stay safe at all times.
