Fall Prevention is Critical Care #1
Accidental falls are the leading cause of injury in adults over the age of 65. Many times, the damages from falling are not recognized at first and the failure to recognize symptoms of injuries can often be fatal. Most elderly fall victims injuries can cause the patient to be removed from their home forever. The unfamiliarity of moving to an Assisted Living or worse, a nursing home, often times results in confusion and depression which often times can shorten their lives.
Fall Prevention Home Care is VITAL
Most falls happen due to losing their balance, or grip on a stair rail. Stubborn patients often neglect to use a walker, cane, or other assistive device as a result. An attentive Caregiver focuses on reducing the risk of injury from falls and encourage safe independent living in their own home.
Fall Prevention Care Involves:
Exercise to help improve strength and range of motion. Most Seniors have a fear of falling which causes anxiety. Caregivers are there to protect at risk patients when walking, sitting, or standing.
