Preventing Falls to Ensure Safety and Peace of Mind

To ensure protection and peace of mind, fall prevention is crucial for older adults. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, millions of individuals aged 65 and above experience falls every year, with one in four older adults experiencing falls annually. However, only less than half of those who fall report it to their doctors. When a person falls once, their chances of falling again double. Recognizing the significance of fall prevention, our team at AmeriChoice has designed training, supervision, and procedures to reduce the risk of injury.

AmeriChoice prioritizes four essential elements of fall prevention, which are as follows:

• Household hazards account for approximately 50% of all fall cases. That’s why our registered nurses utilize the CDC Home Fall Prevention Checklist for Older Adults in performing in-home assessments.
• Inactivity leads to weakness and increases the likelihood of falling. Our team promotes regular exercise and movement, collaborating with the client’s physician and/or therapist to create an individualized exercise program.
• Certain medications or combinations of medications can cause dizziness or drowsiness, increasing the risk of falls. We provide medication management services to ensure proper medication usage. Additionally, if any adverse side effects arise, we inform the client’s physician. Our case managers can also accompany clients to appointments as necessary.
• Poor eyesight raises the risk of falling. Our caregivers offer personalized care, including standby or hands-on assistance with ambulation.

If your loved one is prevented from falls, slips, and other incidents at home or anywhere, they can avoid costly injury treatments and hospitalization. As a result, they can maintain greater independence in carrying out tasks such as bathing, cooking, and socializing with others. Safety at home is an important component of graceful aging, so, to help your loved one achieve the highest comfort in health and at home, seek assistance from our caregivers today.

We take pride in our ability to enhance the lives of seniors and individuals with disabilities through our personalized assistance with daily tasks. Our caregivers understand that daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, medication management, and light housekeeping can be overwhelming, which is why we offer compassionate care that promotes independence and dignity. We strive to go above and beyond for our clients, providing personalized care plans that cater to their unique needs and preferences. By doing so, we not only help manage their day-to-day activities but also improve their overall quality of life, allowing them to live life to the fullest.
