Therapy Department Begins Fall Prevention Program

Our therapist focuses extensively to assist residents with recent falls or increased fear of falling, sitting or standing balance difficulties, the decline in the ability to walk, changes in gait pattern, need of an assistive device, transfers, bed mobility, and self-care tasks.

The physical and occupational therapists work diligently with each resident to help restore muscle tone and increase strength. Each therapist customizes a fall treatment plan to assess the resident's personal needs, which help reduce the risk of falling. Resident safety is our number one priority!
