Safety First. Encouragement Always.
As we get older, our risk of falling increases. Things like climbing stairs, getting in and out of the shower, or even just sitting down and standing up can put us at risk of an injury from falling. In fact, statistics show that more than one out of four older adults fall each year.
As more older adults choose to age in place in the comfort of their own home, it’s important to ensure that the home provides a safe environment. Preventing falls is one of the best ways to do that.
SYNERGY HomeCare’s “Safety First” fall and injury prevention program helps seniors prevent falls and reduces the fear of falling, an all-too-common issue that can lead to reduced physical activity. Our specially trained in-home caregivers also provide support when recovering after a fall or injury.
SYNERGY HomeCare offers no obligation home assessments.
