Reducing Fall Risk in Seniors
At The Straits Geriatric Centre, we see ageing as a chance to live confidently and stay active. While balance and mobility may require extra care, the right support can make all the difference.
That’s why our Fall & Bone Health Assessment was created to provide compassionate, practical support to help you or your loved one feel safe, secure, and steady every day.
We’re here to walk alongside you, offering care that’s as individual as you are. This isn’t just about assessments or tests, it’s about making life a little easier and a lot safer.
A Thoughtful Process Tailored to You
Every journey starts with understanding, and we take the time to get to know you or your loved one. From reviewing health history and daily habits to addressing medication side effects or home hazards, we identify fall risks. Our focus is on practical solutions that make life safer and more comfortable, step by step.
Balance and Mobility Testing
Confidence grows when you understand your strengths and where extra support is needed. Simple evaluations reveal how you move and where balance or coordination can improve.
Home Safety Guidance
Your home should be a safe haven. We suggest practical changes like better lighting or grab bars to eliminate hazards such as loose rugs or dim hallways, reducing fall risks.
Personalised Recommendations
We craft a care plan tailored to your unique needs. From gentle exercises to nutrition tips, every recommendation supports safer, easier movement and greater confidence.
