Falls Prevention Program
"I’ve gone from being bed bound for 2 years to being able to walk again, thanks to LIFE ElderCare’s in home exercise program!"
No matter what your health situation, bedridden, chair bound, or afraid of falling, doing daily exercises can improve healthy aging. Nursing students from a local college visit elders and help put exercise programs in place.
Home safety or assessments, minor home modifications, and medication management review all help reduce falls (a leading cause of death for seniors) and decrease the risk of premature placement in a nursing home. The program is offered at no cost to home bound seniors age 60 and older. The Falls Prevention Program partners with Unitek College students, who are Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN's).
LIFE Eldercare is a partnering agency of the Tri-City Elder Coalition.
