Care at home / After a fall
When it helps
After a fall at home.
A fall changes how everyone feels about the house. The right help can bring the confidence back.
After a fall, Solura Home Care can provide non-medical help at home, including standby help with bathing and stairs, safer daily routines, and rides to appointments, so your loved one can stay home with more confidence.
You are not alone
Even a fall that causes no serious injury can shake a person's confidence. Many older adults start moving less, skip the shower, or avoid the stairs, which can make the next fall more likely. Families worry, and the person who fell often worries about being a burden.
What tends to help
- Talk with the doctor. Ask about medications, balance, vision, and whether physical therapy could help.
- Look at the house together. Loose rugs, dim lighting, clutter on the stairs, and a slippery tub are common culprits.
- Keep moving, safely. Staying active with someone nearby is usually better than staying in a chair all day.
- Have someone there for the risky moments. Bathing, getting up at night, and the stairs are when an extra hand matters most.
How Solura helps
A caregiver can be there for the parts of the day that carry the most risk: showers, dressing, stairs, and getting in and out of bed or a chair. On the first visit we walk through the home with you and point out simple changes that make it safer. Our rides get your loved one to appointments without the stress of driving.
