Safe and Steady® Fall Prevention Program

Through our Safe and Steady Fall Prevention program—specifically designed to mitigate slips, trips, and falls among the elderly—our caregivers receive specialized training to develop fall avoidance strategies tailored to each senior’s individual needs and home environment. By fostering safe mobility and ensuring a secure living space, we empower seniors to uphold their independence and enjoy a high quality of life with confidence.

Why Fall Prevention Is Important for Seniors

Fall Prevention is paramount for seniors because it can drastically impact their safety, well-being, and quality of life. Beyond the physical injuries they can cause, falls often lead to a loss of confidence and increased fear of falling again, further limiting mobility and independence.

Seniors are more vulnerable to falls due to risk factors such as:

Cognitive disorders
Decreased strength
Hearing loss
Limited mobility
Poor coordination
Reduced eyesight
Stiff or painful joints
Taking multiple medications

Seniors are also more likely to suffer significant injuries when falls occur. Hip fractures are particularly common and dangerous for them. The recovery period can take up to a year, may require transitional care at home, and can be life-threatening. Most seniors never fully recover from a hip fracture, which can cause them to lose their autonomy at home.

You can decrease your loved one's risk of falling by making changes in their home environment and being aware of their health changes. Assess your aging parent's fall risk with the CDC's Timed Up and Go test.

How to Start the Safe and Steady^® Program?

When you contact your local home care office, a Visiting Angels care coordinator will set up a free home care consultation with you and your senior. The coordinator will develop a personalized home care plan and recommend a caregiver suited to your loved one’s needs.

Your loved one will receive compassionate, dedicated care—and you will gain peace of mind knowing they are safe.
