Making a Difference: A Care Manager's Story at Summit

"After 15 years as a registered nurse, I felt a pull toward something deeper. I wanted to build lasting connections with the people I helped, to be there for families through their hardest decisions. That's when I found Summit."

Identifying Your Client’s Needs
Falls are a major risk for older adults, but many can be prevented. To determine if your client may need home modifications or an equipment assessment, start by identifying potential safety concerns.
Quick Steps You Can Take Today:
Observe your client’s daily tasks—do they hesitate, struggle, or avoid certain activities?
Use the Falls Prevention Checklist, starting with common hazards like slippery floors, cluttered pathways, or missing handrails.
Consult a professional—arrange for an Occupational Therapist (OT) to assess their needs and recommend practical safety solutions.
Falls Prevention Checklist for Care Managers – Help Your Clients Stay Safe
Our Falls Prevention Checklist is a practical tool to help you identify and reduce hazards in your clients’ homes. Here’s a quick preview:
Is there enough lighting in hallways and entrances?
Are rugs secured to the floor or non-slip?

"We had a client with multiple comorbidities, frequent falls, and limited family support. Summit didn’t shy away. They provided immediate assessments, coordinated equipment trials"
"When we needed urgent intervention after a fall, Summit was the only provider who responded same-day. The OT assessment was booked within 24 hours, and their incident report process helped us meet compliance and reassure the family."
"I’m a Care Partner with limited clinical knowledge, so knowing where to start with allied health services felt overwhelming. Peta from Summit walked me through the triage process and helped me prioritise which service to begin with. Once that decision was made, everything else fell into place. I felt genuinely supported every step of the way."
