Gaitway – Fall Risk Management

The CDC reports that one in four older adults over the age of 65 will fall each year, and the majority of those falls will result in injury, surgery or even death.

With Gaitway, our evidence-based fall risk management program, we aim to help older adults understand why falls occur in the first place and identify solutions that can improve their outcomes. We work to:

Minimize the risk of falls among older adults living at home
Empower older adults and their families to understand factors that lead to an

increased risk of falls and the solutions available
Identify and monitor risk factors with effective screening tools
Educate direct care workers who are helping clients manage their health

We offer free fall screenings and take time to educate older adults and their loved ones about the causes of falls and what they can do to manage their risk

Whether your loved one needs assistance only a few hours a week or around-the-clock, our team is happy to help! Call (317) 664-5136 to learn more about the transition care services offered through ComForCare Home Care (South Indy).

Falls are not a normal part of aging, and while no fall can be totally prevented, there is a lot you can do to reduce your chances of a fall. ComForCare’s fall risk management expert will partner with you, your caregiver, and your healthcare provider to identify factors that could lead to a fall and suggest interventions to improve your independence and well-being.

How to Reduce Fall Risk

ComForCare encourages clients and families to take proactive steps to reduce at-home fall risks. Talking with your primary care physician is a crucial first step. They can assess common risk factors that can increase your chances of falling, such as underlying medical conditions, medications you take, and even your vision and footwear. Additionally, your doctor can evaluate your strength and balance abilities, as well as your blood pressure, to identify any potential issues that might contribute to a fall.

When these risk factors are not managed properly, they can result in a fall. If a fall does happen, ComForCare understands the importance of a swift and thorough response. We’ll work hard to identify the reasons behind the fall, considering all the contributing factors. With this information, we then work with you and your healthcare provider to develop the right plan to keep you safe and independent at home.
