Did you know, one of the best ways you can help keep your loved one living safely in their Bronxville area home is by providing them with quality home care services?

One of the things we fear the most as we grow older is taking a spill that might land us in the hospital or worse. This fear is actually grounded in reality. The CDC reports that the majority of all fatal and non-fatal injuries suffered by seniors are the result of a fall. 

At Visiting Angels^® White Plains, we take falling seriously. We integrate our Safe and Steady fall prevention program into all our services, right from the start. When you schedule a no-cost consultation for home care services in the Bronxville area, we’ll also conduct a complimentary fall-risk assessment of your loved one’s environment and provide valuable recommendations and information you can put into use immediately.

Quick Tips

We recommend the following quick tips for a comprehensive approach to fall prevention:

1. Make an appointment with your loved one’s doctor. Ask him/her to perform a medical evaluation and identify any issues that need to be addressed. Don’t forget to ask about medications that might cause drowsiness or dizziness.
2. Stress the importance of keeping your loved one’s strength up. Leg muscles need some exercise. Start small and build slowly. Many seniors begin to do less out of fear of falling which only begins a cycle of deterioration. 
3. Consider our Bronxville-area home care services for help in all these areas and more.

Our fully vetted and compassionate caregivers will assist with tasks that require dangerous reaching, stair climbing, squeezing into tight spaces, and bending. Our personal care services can also assist with dignified bathing, grooming, and dressing. We can safely transport and accompany your loved one to doctor’s appointments, on errands, or to social events.
