Safety & Savings

The reality is that people fall.  There are systems upon systems designed to prevent someone from falling.  A safe environment is important.  Many family members and staff are even trained to know what to do once someone has fallen to the ground (first aid, cpr, etc.).

What about catching someone 'AS' they are falling?  Chances are, drop seizure candidates will seizure and fall.  Seniors who need assistance fall.  These injuries are heart-breaking to family members as well as the staff who care for them.
There is a growing number of staff injuries to add to the problem.  This results in more Workman's Compensation claims leading to larger premiums.

Fall Prevention inc has developed a system using proper footwork, body awareness, and fall prevention techniques to guide someone safely to the ground preventing injury to the resident and staff.  We also teach awareness and vigilance to staff, keeping them focused on the person they are caring for.
