Reduce the risk of falls
Anyone can have a fall, but it becomes more likely as we get older or develop mobility problems.
Staying active, working on your balance, and organising your home to have clear walkways with suitable surfaces to grab for support can all help to reduce the risk.
CKH, in partnership with Vivacity, offer a free falls clinic for people over the age of 65. You can find out if you are at risk of falling and receive a personalised plan and exercise programme to improve your strength and balance. Learn more about the free falls clinic on the CKH website.
If you are worried about yourself or a loved one falling at home, don't forget to talk to our LifeLine team. Keep on of our easy to wear buttons with you and it is simple to alert someone if you fall while alone at home. Our trained, friendly team is there around the clock to respond to you when you need us.
If a family member has recently had a fall, they may have lost confidence to complete tasks around the home or be temporarily unable to look after themselves if they are recovering from an injury. Our home care team can provide short term packages to help people get back on their feet and stay on them! Talk to us about the support we can provide today.
