Overview
About Fall Risk & Mobility
Most falls happen because several small things add up: leg weakness after an illness, a new medication that causes lightheadedness, dim hallway lighting, or a loose throw rug. We check each of those pieces during our visit and put together a practical plan tailored to your home.
When your doctor orders therapy, physical therapists work with you on leg strength, balance, and walker technique, while occupational therapists practice safe ways to step into the shower, get out of bed, and use the stairs. We also show family members how to lend a steady hand without straining their own backs.
What's included
- Comprehensive fall-risk checkup by a registered nurse or therapist
- Room-by-room home safety walkthrough covering lighting, stairs, rugs, and bathrooms
- In-home physical therapy for leg strength, balance, and steady walking
- Safe transfer practice for getting in and out of bed, chairs, the toilet, and the shower
- Proper fitting and training for walkers, canes, and wheelchairs
- Medication review to spot prescriptions that may cause dizziness or drops in blood pressure
- Practical recommendations for grab bars, shower chairs, and non-slip mats
- A clear family plan for what to do and who to call if a fall ever happens
Who it helps
- Anyone who has had a recent fall or near-fall at home
- Seniors who feel unsteady on their feet or nervous about walking to the bathroom
- Patients who lost muscle strength during a hospital or rehab stay
- People living with Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery, arthritis, or neuropathy
What to expect
Your care, step by step.
Step 1: Referral & orders
Your doctor sends orders over, or you give us a call and we reach out to your doctor's office for you.
Step 2: Nurse assessment
One of our registered nurses visits you at home, listens to how you are doing, and goes over your medical needs.
Step 3: Your plan of care
We partner with your doctor to map out the right services, visit schedule, and recovery goals for you.
Step 4: Care & coordination
Your team visits on schedule, shows your family how to help, and keeps your doctor in the loop as you get stronger.
Do you install grab bars or bathroom rails?
While we do not do hardware installation ourselves, your therapist will show you the exact spots where grab bars, a shower bench, or a raised toilet seat will help most, and we can connect you with local resources.
I feel shaky on my feet. Will the exercises be too hard?
Never. Your physical therapist starts right where you are today, often beginning with gentle seated or bedside movements, and builds up gradually as your legs get stronger. Your safety comes first at every visit.
What should I do if a fall happens?
Take a slow breath and check for pain or injury before trying to move. If you hit your head, feel significant pain, or cannot get up safely, call 911 right away. During your visits, your therapist will also practice safe floor recovery and emergency call options with you.
