Home Care Services in Darien

You may be surprised to know that according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the leading cause of fatal injury and trauma-related non-fatal, hospital admissions among older adults are falls. At Visiting Angels^® Stamford, we take the risk of falling seriously. Our home care services in Darien not only incorporate a full range of fall prevention techniques but are themselves a part of keeping your loved one safe from injury.

It’s important to know and understand all the risk factors that might lead to a fall. There are many varied risks, including types of medication, floor transitions (carpet to hardwood), loose footwear, poor lighting, etc. We help educate families and seniors about these risks, as well as provide ways to remediate specific situations. We are committed to preventing this all-too-common form of injury for seniors. For this reason, our Safe and Steady Fall Prevention Program is an integrated part of all our home care.

Living Safely With Home Care Services in Darien

Sadly, when an aging loved one falls, it can set off a cascading chain of events that leads to physical and mental decline. Even if not seriously injured, the fear of falling again can lead to increased anxiety, which itself can contribute to the risk of another spill. Your loved one might also begin avoiding activities and tasks they once enjoyed or kept them active. In some cases, seniors might even decrease water consumption in order to avoid having to navigate their way to the bathroom more often than necessary.

Our home care services help seniors feel safer and actually be safer in their Darien area home. Our gentle and compassionate caregivers can assist with a myriad of tasks and activities that will keep them active, while simultaneously avoiding unnecessary fall risks. For example, our companion care services can help with non-medical tasks that require reaching, light lifting, and climbing stairs. Our personal care services offer dignified assistance with things like safely bathing and dressing.
