Falls Prevention
Keeping Seniors Safe and Independent

Picture this: Your father, once confident in his daily routine, now hesitates at the top of the stairs. A recent stumble in the garden has shaken his confidence, and he’s become more cautious moving around his home. What was once a simple walk to the letterbox now fills him with worry.
Meet Alan, a retired accountant living alone. After experiencing a few near-falls, he started avoiding daily activities. His daughter, Sarah, noticed the change — he was becoming withdrawn and more reliant on others. When she found our Falls Prevention Program, everything changed.
Staying steady on your feet is key to maintaining confidence, safety, and independence. At Summit Health Solutions, our Falls Prevention Program follows the Aged Care Quality Standards and the Australian Government's Home Care Packages (HCP) Program, ensuring the right support for seniors and their families.

Have you noticed unsteadiness, difficulty with stairs, or a fear of falling? Falls risk factors can include balance issues, medication side effects, and home hazards. Our specialists assess these risks and create a plan to improve stability and prevent falls.

Falls can lead to serious injuries, hospital stays, and a loss of confidence. Early intervention with strength training, home adjustments, and mobility support can help prevent these outcomes and keep seniors active and independent.

Fear of falling can stop seniors from doing the things they enjoy. Our team provides expert guidance, helping seniors regain confidence in their movements and stay engaged in their daily routines.

Getting to appointments can be difficult, but falls prevention shouldn’t wait. Our home visit services bring professional assessments, personalized exercises, and safety recommendations directly to seniors, making falls prevention easier and more accessible.
