Many factors contribute to falls in seniors. Understanding the causes of such can help you and your senior loved one prepare for the worst. Your Home Care in Atlanta, Georgia can help you establish a safe place fit for your loved one’s condition including when they are suffering from Dementia.
Problems with vision impact how we navigate. As we grow older, our eyesight deteriorates, making us vulnerable as we move. While vision tools can help improve the situation, if a senior loved one fails to wear their glasses or when there is not enough lighting, the situation puts them at risk to tumble over unseen objects or slip from wet floors.
The use of medicines can impact a senior’s mobility. For example, if they are taking tranquilizers, their body is relaxed. Movements are limited when the medicine is taking effect. Thus, moving around the house can get risky for patients if they are left unsupervised. Our Non-Medical Home Care in Georgia takes special attention to managing your loved one’s medication.
Broken and uneven steps can cause a senior to lose balance. Broken and exposed wood chips can cause additional injury aside from the fall. The stairs and other steps inside and outside the house must be of the same level and are fully repaired.
