If you know that it is difficult to manage your stairs, to get into the shower or tub, to go get the mail, you could feel trapped in your home and imprisoned by your failing physical ability. The fear of falling is a real phenomenon and can create a viscous cycle by limiting physical activity which, in turn, increases risk of falling.
You are worried, and your family is deeply concerned also. They are torn between telling you that they fear for your safety and insisting that you move — somewhere.
As you accept the reality of your changing physical ability, we will work with you to problem solve and find reasonable solutions for those areas causing concerns. We do not sell equipment, so you do not have to worry about us just pushing products. We want to help decrease your fall risks so you can participate in your daily activities safely and independently.
We will offer options to make life easier, based on your budget and the immediacy of the need, so that you can make an informed decision. This will also help allay the fears of your family.
We can provide a handyman contact or if more extensive work is needed, we can work with your contractor or recommend a contractor we have worked with before.
