At Adara, we’re passionate about helping our patients maintain their independence, and preventing falls is critical in achieving this goal. It is the best defense against the life-changing injuries and even death that can occur as a result of a fall, in addition to anxiety and fear regarding future falls.
Feel Safe, Sound, Secure & Self-Confident. ProActive Steps™ can help.
Every year, more than 1/3 of people aged 65 and older fall in the U.S., with thousands of people suffering falls that result in significant injuries or death. Those who experience a single fall are 2-3x more likely to fall again in the future — so prioritizing the prevention of a first fall can be life-saving.
ProActive Steps™ can help. It’s an effective fall-prevention program that empowers you with the knowledge you need to reduce your risk of falling.
Our customized program helps evaluate risks and prevent devastating falls.
Step 1: Evaluation
We’ll evaluate your risks for falling by assessing a range of factors including:
• Strength, flexibility, coordination & balance, including issues that may affect these factors, such as your vision, hearing and inner ear.
• Medications and their effects
• Potential in-home hazards that could lead to a fall
Step 2: Personal Improvement Plan
Once we know your risk factors and have identified their cause, we’ll work with you, your family and physician to customize a treatment program to your unique needs.
Step 3: In-Home Care & Treatment
A ProActive Steps™ health care professional will work with you in the comfort and privacy of your home to address the risk factors outlined in your Personal Improvement Plan and help you to reduce your risks of falling.
