Aside from the various injuries older adults sustain after experiencing a fall, they also succumb to emotional and social issues. In the end, falling can greatly affect a senior’s quality of life, as it tends to eventually result in avoiding leaving the house altogether due to fear. This fear can result in feelings of anxiety, loneliness, social isolation, sadness, and depression. Our at-home caregivers are here to help and ensure your loved one's safety in their home.

Prevention is Key 

Falls do not just happen – they are caused by a variety of risk factors that can typically be prevented if you are prepared. Typically, these factors are linked to a physical condition, medical problem, or home environment. Furthermore, factors like taking multiple medications, limited mobility, poor eyesight, arthritis, dehydration, and the lack of grab bars in the bathtub are a few examples of common risk factors. Preventing falls starts with identifying and promptly addressing risk factors such as these.
