Falls at home or outdoors can have adverse effects on confidence, they can create a sense of anxiety and discomfort. At step forward OT we complete comprehensive falls assessments at home and understand the cause of the clients falls. There are often multiple causes where recommendations for immediate change and improvement to enhance safety at home and outdoors can be made.
We understand carers concerns, therefore, ensure we educate the clients and those involved in their care how to manage the challenging situation and the preventative measurers that can be placed daily to reduce the risk of falls.
