Falls are dangerous whether they occur in your home or elsewhere. Many patients think they aren’t at risk of falling because they’re used to being healthy and self-sufficient.
Providence Home Health is committed to the goal of zero patient falls. We conduct a comprehensive fall risk is assessment for every patient upon admission. Based on the assessment results, an individualized fall prevention plan is put in place. Please partner with us to keep yourself safe at home!
