Falls Prevention Program

Haven Bay is proactive in its Falls Prevention programme and all clients are assessed to establish their level of falls risk on admission.

When a client is identified as being at high risk of falls, a full medication review, assessment of mobility aids and technique, footwear and environment will be examined.

Our physiotherapist will work closely with clients’ families, and if required, a home visit prior to discharge can be arranged to ensure both client and family are confident on final discharge.

On discharge, all clients will be provided with a home exercise programme and advice sheets, and are invited to attend a Falls Prevention class as out-patients.
