The Right Steps for Fall Prevention

There isn't a way to stop the leaves from changing, but there are measures we can take to help prevent loved ones from falls that  might sustain injuries. Below are a few steps to lower your chances of falling.
 
Stand Up Slowly - Getting up too briskly can cause your blood pressure to drop, which can simulate a loss of balance. Get your blood pressure checked regularly.

Have Your Vision and Hearing Tested  - Small changes in sight and hearing can cause a fall. Take the time to get used to new eyeglasses and always wear them when you need them. If you have a hearing aid, be sure it fits and operates well.

Know the Side Effects of Medications - If your medicine can make you sleepy or dizzy, know when is the best time to take it and talk to your doctor about any health concerns.

Stay Physically Active - Find an exercise program that is right for you. Regular exercise helps keep you strong and flexible.   

More than 1 in 3 people age 65 years or older falls each year. The risk of falling, and fall-related problems, naturally increases with age.

Our Residents are Loving the New ActivFit Program

ActivFit is a video-led program utilizing resistance and modified weight training for a fun activity that our residents can't get enough of! 

We utilize professionally designed  exercise s  with our residents in mind to increase strength, flexibility, range of motion, mobility, gait, and balance.
 
ActivCare communities offer daily physical exercise for residents. The ActivFit program is yet another addition to our busy activity calendar.
 
Getting moving can help boost energy, protect the heart, and manage pain as well as weight. Regular exercise is also good for enhancing sleep, improving balance and relieving stress. We're excited to get moving with ActivFit.
