"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
– Benjamin Franklin
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospital visits among seniors, often resulting in serious injuries, loss of mobility, and reduced confidence in daily movement. Many older adults fear falling, which can lead to reduced physical activity and further decline in balance and strength. However, falls are not an inevitable part of aging—they are largely preventable with the right assessments and strategies.
At Home Senior Fitness offers comprehensive, in-home Fall Risk Assessments, designed to identify potential hazards and risk factors while providing a personalized prevention plan. Our goal is to help seniors feel safer, move with confidence, and maintain their independence for years to come.
What is a Fall Risk Assessment?
Many seniors and their families don’t realize the risks that everyday home environments or health conditions can pose. A Fall Risk Assessment helps identify hidden dangers and physical weaknesses that could lead to falls, providing practical solutions for prevention.
Why a Fall Risk Assessment is Important:
Falls are one of the leading causes of injury, hospitalization, and loss of independence for older adults. Even a minor fall can result in serious injuries, reduced mobility, and increased fear of movement, which can lead to further physical decline. A proactive fall risk assessment allows seniors to stay ahead of potential risks, remain active, and live safely in their homes for as long as possible.
