Radiant Health Services – Fall Prevention Care
As we age, the risk of falls increases significantly due to factors such as decreased muscle strength, balance issues, and chronic conditions. The consequences of falls in older adults can be severe, leading to hospitalizations, bone injuries, and loss of overall quality of life. Even with minor falls, the fear of falling again can reduce activity levels, creating a cycle of decreased mobility and increased fall risk. Our Fall Prevention Care Services aim to address these risks head-on, implementing strategies designed to keep seniors safe, active, and as independent as possible.
