The Importance of Falls Prevention

Falls are a leading cause of injury and hospitalisation among older Australians. According to national health statistics, one in three people aged 65 and over experiences a fall each year. The consequences can range from minor bruises to serious fractures, and in many cases, a single fall can trigger a decline in confidence, mobility, and independence.

Encaras Falls Prevention Program is a targeted initiative designed to reduce these risks and help clients feel safer in their homes and communities. This program involves thorough assessments by qualified allied health professionals, including physiotherapists and occupational therapists, to identify potential hazards and mobility issues.

Key components of Encaras Falls Prevention Program include:

• Balance and strength training tailored to each individual

• Home safety assessments to identify and reduce environmental risks

• Education and support for clients and carers on safe movement techniques

• Provision of mobility aids and advice on appropriate footwear and home modifications

By addressing both physical and environmental factors, the program not only reduces the risk of falls but also empowers individuals to maintain their independence for longer.
