Fall Prevention and Home Care

  
Our goal is to help patients with a high risk of falls to achieve and maintain their maximum level of independence and wellbeing. By providing the appropriate education and skilled services, patients are able to safely remain in their homes once home health is no longer required.

Home care is appropriate for:
  • Diagnosis or recent onset of disease
  • Poor balance
  • Recent hospitalization
  • Activity Intolerance
  • Fluctuating or unstable vital signs
  • Increased Fatigue
  • Initiation of new medication
  • Recent multiple falls
  • Patient requiring oxygen therapy
  • Decreased endurance
  • Frequent trips to the Emergency Room (three or more per six
    months) indicates a need for skilled nurse to educate the patient
    about disease process and management.
     

What can home health care do to assist patients post surgery:

  • In home safety evaluation
  • Safety education
  • Identifying properly fitting shoes/ clothing
  • Recommended safe environment modifications
  • Remove environmental barriers
  • Observation and assessment
  • Assess for home medical equipment
  • Evaluation and management
  • Disease process education
  • Initiation of new medication
  • Medication education
  • Medication monitoring
  • Energy conservation techniques
  • Assistance with ADLs
  • Physical therapy
  • Ambulation and transfer techniques
