At HomeWell Care Services, we know how a serious fall can devastate your health, your confidence, and your independence. For older adults, falls are the number one cause of injuries.   <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we developed SureStep Fall Prevention: a HomeWell Special Program that protects older adults from falls and the risk of falling.   <\/p>\n<p>SureStep starts with an assessment by a HomeWell Care Manager: an expert on fall risks and the factors that contribute to them. They\u2019ll design a custom care plan to address your fall risks holistically, so that you or a loved one can protect your independence at home.   <\/p>\n<p>With a custom in-home care plan designed by an expert Care Manager, SureStep addresses the following factors through activity, engagement and more.\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"min-height:400px\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9_bS-SQHsL4?rel=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Physical Inactivity    <\/strong><br \/>\nSitting for long periods can result in muscle weakness and loss of balance. Our caregivers can help your loved one do more physical activity in safety.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Medications  <\/strong><br \/>\nMedications and their side-effects can increase fall risk, especially with multiple prescriptions. We assess whether your loved one\u2019s medication increases their risk of falling.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Hazards in the Home     <\/strong><br \/>\nWe evaluate your loved one\u2019s home for safety issues like poor lighting and trip hazards, and can recommend modifications for better safety and access.      <\/p>\n<p><strong>Low Vision  <\/strong> <br \/>\nHaving impaired vision doubles an older adult\u2019s risk of a fall (2). We work with clients to understand and address the unique fall risks that come with low vision.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p><strong>Prior Fall History    <\/strong> <br \/>\nAn older adult\u2019s first fall doubles their chances of falling again(3). It can also cause a fear of future falls, which may cause decreased activity and a sense of withdrawal.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Social Isolation   <\/strong> <br \/>  Inactivity and social isolation lead to loneliness, depression and anxiety, which increase the risk of falling. Our caregivers can help your loved one do more of the activities they enjoy, with a companion.     <\/p>\n<p><strong>Multiple Chronic Conditions      <\/strong> <br \/>  Chronic conditions often reduce strength, balance, and mobility. Our caregivers are trained to work with clients with multiple conditions that present a heightened fall risk.<\/p>\n<h5>\nTo learn more about SureStep, use the form below to connect with a HomeWell Care Manager.   <\/h5>\n<form method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\" id=\"vfbp-form-44\" class=\"vfbp-form\"><div style=\"display:none;\"><label for=\"vfbp-EMAIL-AN8fuQyoDLXem\">If you are human, leave this field blank.<\/label><input size=\"25\" autocomplete=\"off\" type=\"text\" name=\"vfbp-EMAIL-AN8fuQyoDLXem\" value=\"\" id=\"\"><\/div><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_vfb-timestamp-44\" value=\"1702831582\" id=\"\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_vfb-form-id\" value=\"44\" id=\"\"><div class=\"vfb-form-group vfb-col-12\"><div><div class=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vfb-col-12 vfb-fieldType-heading\" id=\"vfbField396\"><\/div><div class=\"vfb-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"vfb-col-12 vfb-fieldType-text\" id=\"vfbField406\"><div class=\"vfb-form-group\"><label for=\"vfb-field-406\" class=\"vfb-control-label\">FULL NAME <span class=\"vfb-required-asterisk\">*<\/span><\/label><div><input id=\"vfb-field-406\" class=\"vfb-form-control\" placeholder=\"\" required=\"required\" type=\"text\" name=\"vfb-field-406\" value=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vfb-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"vfb-col-12 vfb-fieldType-email\" id=\"vfbField399\"><div class=\"vfb-form-group\"><label for=\"vfb-field-399\" class=\"vfb-control-label\">EMAIL ADDRESS <span class=\"vfb-required-asterisk\">*<\/span><\/label><div><input id=\"vfb-field-399\" class=\"vfb-form-control\" placeholder=\"\" required=\"required\" type=\"email\" name=\"vfb-field-399\" value=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vfb-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"vfb-col-12 vfb-fieldType-phone\" id=\"vfbField400\"><div class=\"vfb-form-group\"><label for=\"vfb-field-400\" class=\"vfb-control-label\">PHONE NUMBER<\/label><div><input id=\"vfb-field-400\" class=\"vfb-form-control vfb-intl-phone\" placeholder=\"\" data-hide-flags=\"1\" type=\"tel\" name=\"vfb-field-400\" value=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vfb-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"vfb-col-12 vfb-fieldType-number\" id=\"vfbField401\"><div class=\"vfb-form-group\"><label for=\"vfb-field-401\" class=\"vfb-control-label\">ZIP CODE <span class=\"vfb-required-asterisk\">*<\/span><\/label><div><input id=\"vfb-field-401\" class=\"vfb-form-control\" placeholder=\"\" required=\"required\" data-vfb-pattern=\"^\\d{5}(?:[-\\s]\\d{4})?$\" type=\"number\" name=\"vfb-field-401\" value=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vfb-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"vfb-col-12 vfb-fieldType-textarea\" id=\"vfbField402\"><div class=\"vfb-form-group\"><label for=\"vfb-field-402\" class=\"vfb-control-label\">MESSAGE<\/label><div><textarea id=\"vfb-field-402\" class=\"vfb-form-control\" placeholder=\"\" rows=\"10\" name=\"vfb-field-402\" cols=\"50\"><\/textarea><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vfb-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"vfb-col-12 vfb-fieldType-captcha\" id=\"vfbField594\"><div class=\"vfb-form-group\"><label for=\"vfb-field-594\" class=\"vfb-control-label\">Captcha <span class=\"vfb-required-asterisk\">*<\/span><\/label><div><div class=\"g-recaptcha\" data-sitekey=\"6LdkWwAVAAAAACSmHu9U0y_-Pj26baalsT3sbqT-\"><\/div><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_vfb_recaptcha_enabled\" value=\"1\" id=\"\"><div class=\"vfb-has-error\" id=\"vfb-recaptcha-error\"><span class=\"vfb-help-block\">reCAPTCHA is required.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vfb-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"vfb-col-12 vfb-fieldType-submit\" id=\"vfbField403\"><button id=\"vfb-field-403\" class=\" button button-secondary button-dark-red  btn btn-primary\" placeholder=\"\" type=\"submit\" name=\"_vfb-submit\">Submit<\/button><\/div><div class=\"vfb-clearfix\"><\/div><\/form>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep Your Loved One Safe from Falls and Injury at Home Are you or a loved one worried about falling at home?
