An essential service for seniors is fall prevention, which helps them maintain their independence and improves their quality of life. At Visiting Angels York County, SC, we offer a Safe and Steady Fall Prevention Program for older adults, as we understand that the consequences of falls are serious. This program allows seniors to remain in their own homes, where they are most familiar and secure. Our caregivers will work on drastically reducing the likelihood of trips, falls, and other injuries.

About Our Fall Prevention Care Service

One in three seniors has a serious fall every year, which is an unfortunate statistic considering the inherent higher fall risk among seniors compared to younger people. The following age-related factors amplify this risk:

• Decreased strength and poor coordination
• Limited mobility
• Reduced eyesight and hearing loss
• Stiff or painful joints
• Various health complications
• Cognitive disorders
• The necessity to manage multiple medications

Fall injuries in the elderly can be devastating, frequently leading to permanent disability or even death. Hip fractures are among the most dangerous results because they can lead to severe complications and require a lengthy recovery period (up to 12 months) and transitional care at home. Unfortunately, after suffering a hip fracture, many older adults never completely regain the degree of freedom they had before the incident.

How Our Adult Care Services Help

Creating Personalized Programs

Our home caregivers are committed to lowering the risk of falls, as they understand these challenges. Since every person has specific requirements and interests, we tailor our services to each person.

Each senior we care for has a unique set of needs, and we create individualized care plans to meet those needs while reducing their risk of harm. We assist our clients in staying independent and enjoying life to the fullest by tailoring our services to their particular requirements, so they receive the best fall prevention possible. Other services can also be added on, such as respite care, dementia care, and much more.

The Importance of a Good Client-Caregiver Relationship

Building Trust

Effective care relies on a solid client-caregiver relationship. Our caregivers go above and beyond the call of duty to become trusted companions and confidants to the people they assist. Because of this, it is crucial to pair clients with caregivers who are a suitable fit for them. When matching clients with caregivers, we think extensively about each person's unique personality and circumstances.

Our adult care service staff undergoes thorough training to provide personalized help. This approach guarantees that our caregivers are emotionally connected to our clients, creating a supportive and trusting environment, and physically prepared to meet their needs.
