REDUCE YOUR RISK OF FALLING!

A COMPREHENSIVE BALANCE SCREENING AND HOME SAFETY ASSESSMENT FOR YOU OR A LOVED ONE

Raleigh | Rolesville | Wake Forest | Youngsville

At Local Point, we understand that falls are a significant concern for older adults. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in four older adults falls each year, leading to serious injuries, loss of independence, and increased healthcare costs.

Our personalized fall reduction screenings aim to identify physical and environmental risk factors and implement proactive measures to keep you safe and independent in your home!

What included in our Screening?

Medications, medical conditions, and previous surgeries and injuries.

PHYSICAL EXAM

  • Strength Assessment

  • Gait Assessment

  • Evaluation of assistive devices (walker, cane, etc.)

  • Observation of mobility in and around your home

HOME ASSESSMENT

We will evaluate your home for potential hazards, including narrow walking paths, inadequate lighting, clutter, floor coverings, and stair safety. Additionally, we will assess entrances, bathrooms, and showers to ensure they are safe for your current physical status.

RECOMMENDATIONS

We will provide you with the results of your screening, including your overall fall risk and any physical deficits identified. Based on our findings, we will recommend safe home exercises, necessary home modifications, and assistive devices to keep you safe and independent in your home.
