Mobility Aids to Reduce the Risk of Falls for Seniors

The risk of falls might be higher for seniors aging at home, especially for those with age-related issues, chronic issues, or mobility constraints. Falls can negatively affect the quality of life for seniors aging at home and increase the risk of hospital admissions.

Here at TRUE ANGELS HEALTH SERVICES LLC, we provide Non-Medical Home Care, and here are some mobility aids that can help reduce the risk of falls for your loved ones at home:

• Seat Lifts
  Getting up from a seated position can sometimes be difficult for seniors, and there is a higher risk of falls if they have to exert themselves more than usual to stand up. A seat life makes it easier for seniors to get up from a seated position and sit down from a standing position.
• Canes and Walkers
  Tools like canes and walkers support balance and provide walking support helping reduce the risk of slips and falls for seniors at home. Some walkers also come with seats attached to them for when your elderly loved ones feel tired and need to sit down. Our Caregivers in Pennsylvania can also provide your elderly loved ones with mobility support at home.
• Ramp Systems
  Even falls from the shortest steps can cause major injury in seniors. There are many types of ramp systems that can be installed quickly and easily at home to address to prevent falls on stairs. You could also use stairlifts.

These are just a few mobility aids to help prevent falls at home. For reliable healthcare assistance, you can call us at 717-743-9835. We provide Hospice Care, Companion Services, Personal Care Assistants, and Home Health Care in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
