Fall Prevention Programs

Falls are a leading cause of injury among adults at home. Aspired Home Health Care offers fall prevention services including safety assessments, strength-building exercises, and mobility guidance. Our clinicians identify risk factors and create personalized plans to reduce hazards. We promote safer movement, improved confidence, and stronger balance. Prevention today can protect independence tomorrow.

Here are key ways we help reduce fall risks for our patients:

• Clear walking areas: Remove clutter, loose rugs, and cords from floors and hallways.
• Improve lighting: Ensure adequate lighting in stairways, hallways, and bathrooms—especially during nighttime hours.
• Add supportive fixtures: Install grab bars in the bathroom and secure handrails on all staircases.
• Use proper footwear: Wear non-slip, well-fitted shoes instead of slippers or open-back footwear.
• Encourage strength and balance: Include guided exercises that improve coordination and physical stability.
• Assess mobility needs: Use properly fitted assistive devices like canes or walkers when recommended.
• Review medications: Identify any prescriptions that may cause dizziness or balance issues.
• Enhance bathroom safety: Use non-slip mats in showers and tubs; consider a shower chair for added support.
• Promote safe movement: Avoid rushing when standing, walking, or changing positions—especially after resting.
• Schedule routine health checks: Ensure vision and hearing are monitored regularly to help maintain spatial awareness.
