Fall Prevention Support
Each year about one-third of all people over age 65 will fall. The consequences can be significant, particularly for older people.
However, falls are not an inevitable part of growing older and there are things you can do to help reduce the risk of falling.
This includes:
- speaking to your pharmacist about the medicines you are taking
- making simple changes to the home environment
- doing exercises to improve strength and balance
- to regularly have your vision and hearing checked
The Falls Management Service is a therapy-led service which offers specialist assessment and advice for people with a concern of falling or a recent history of falling.
The service is made up of a team of specialist falls practitioners. It is available for people living in West Northamptonshire who require support with reducing their risk of falling.
