This is an attempt to explain in clinical and scientific detail the reason why I am opposed to the use of grab bars by seniors who are a falls risk. #fallsprevention #senioradvocate #aginginplace #callbeforemomfalls

We provide front door to back door and every room in-between assessments of the home to help seniors and people with disabilities maintain comfortable accessibility and safe mobility in an effort to prevent falls. Specifically, the first fall, which is most typically a fall unrelated to strength or balance and more about and obstacle that is not properly negotiated. Often times it has never been a problem until suddenly it is. There are simple ways to determine if someone is a falls risk and it's not how well they walk or how many times they can stand up or sit down from a chair. Things like medications, urgency to urinate, living alone and even diet are used as predictors to help identify people who may be at risk for a life-changing fall.

If you are a senior or care about a senior, we can easily be contacted for a consultation. Often times they are covered by insurance, or our affordable private pay rate coupled with a lifetime guarantee make it easy for anyone to ensure their home is safe and accessible.
