Elderly Care Services in the Annapolis Valley: Fall Prevention Tips from Our Team

provider of elderly care services in Annapolis Valley reading to senior woman

It's been well-documented that the greatest risk of injury to older adults is slips and falls. Senior Home Care by Angels® in the Annapolis Valley offers elderly care services that help to safeguard seniors against the many risks they face at home.

Those risks can stem from many causes, one of which is a senior's own physical health. Shortened gaits or fragility can lead to trips and falls even when no other obstacles are present.

A senior's home itself can also be full of potential hazards, such as uneven floors, steep staircases, or low lighting, all of which can contribute to accidents. Fortunately, the elderly care services from Senior Home Care by Angels in the Annapolis Valley can help seniors avoid many of these dangers so that they can live safer, happier lives at home.

How Elderly Care Services Can Keep Your Loved One in the Annapolis Valley Safer

More support is all that most seniors need in order to avoid many of the accidents that commonly cause injuries at home. Having a companion caregiver to provide a steady pair of hands and a second pair of eyes can make all the difference.

Some ways an elderly care service provider can help prevent accidents for seniors in the Annapolis Valley include:

  • Guiding them safely up and down staircases
  • Helping them get in and out of beds and tubs
  • Keeping an eye out for tripping hazards or slippery surfaces
  • Preparing meals rich in bone-building nutrients
  • Encouraging a safe level of physical activity to help them build strength
