FALLS PREVENTION

The Falls Assessment

Where every prevention plan starts.

One in three seniors falls every year. Most of those falls are preventable — but only if you know where the risks are. The Haven at Home Falls Assessment brings a physiotherapist and PSW into your home together to find every risk, design a personalized plan, and give you something most families never have: a clear picture of what needs to change before something goes wrong.

Is this right for you?

Every family's situation is different. If any of these sound familiar, you don't have to figure it out alone — we can help.

Has your loved one had a fall, or a close call, in the past year?
Are they unsteady on their feet or grabbing furniture for balance?
Do they take multiple medications, some of which may affect balance or coordination?
Are you worried about them being home alone — especially at night?
Are you planning ahead before a problem happens?
Has a doctor or physiotherapist suggested a falls risk assessment?

WHAT'S INCLUDED

What the assessment covers

We use the Berg Balance Scale — the clinical gold standard — to measure your loved one's balance and falls risk. We also assess gait (how they walk), their stride pattern, and any compensatory habits that signal risk.
