Senior Fall Risk Assessment

Senior Fall Risk Assessment is a process used to evaluate an older adult's likelihood of falling. This assessment considers factors like medical history, mobility, balance, vision, medications, and home safety. By identifying potential risks, healthcare providers can recommend strategies to prevent falls, such as exercises to improve strength and balance, eye check-ups, and modifications to the home environment. The goal is to enhance the senior's safety and independence, reducing the risk of injuries from falls, which can have serious health implications.
