Our Services
The Falls Prevention Service sees people who have recently had a fall or those that are at risk of falling
Falls can have a significant impact on daily life. We aim to identify underlying factors causing falls or the risk of falls. We offer interventions that will prevent falls in the future and resulting in hospital admissions.
In order to refer to our services, The client should be:
- Usually over 50 years
- History of fall
- Identified risk of falling / fear of falling
Assessments
We will assess people to determine what help they need. We will want to know about the individual’s medical history and medications that they take. We will want to know what people do on a daily basis to help us understand their needs.
We will visit people in their own home or residence for assessment and treatment.
One of our Specialist team members will visit your home/residence for a detailed one-to-one Falls & Wellbeing Screening Assessment. We also provide virtual assessments. This detailed multifactorial screening assessment covers individual health, wellbeing, falls and daily activities. This Screening assessment gives us an early identification of falls risk and allows us to signpost clients to any other appropriate services that may be needed.
Our Specialist Occupational Therapist (OT) will conduct a detailed assessment of individual ergonomics and raise awareness of hazards in different locations of your home/residence. Our Therapist will suggest/make relevant changes, adaptations or recommendations to make your environment safer to reduce the risk factors and prescribes relevant equipment for safe environment to prevent falls from occurring.
Our specialist Nurse will do relevant Blood and Urine tests related to Falls at your home, if required. If there are any concerns with your test results, our Nurse specialist will inform your GP so further actions can be discussed and agreed.
