So many things I love about this honest and insightful video, highlighting the challenges and blessings of being an adult child of aging parents.

Yes, one main takeaway is to plan and prepare financially as well as legally.

Getting older can be expensive once health concerns arise. But small changes can make staying at home possible for longer. By considering your loved ones living environment now, before injury, illness, or disability, you can prevent falls rather than just react to them.

The other aspect I love that they address is the honor of taking care of a loved one. Whether it's in your home, or their home, or supporting them from a distance, helping our senior loved ones fulfills an innate need for legacy and closure.

September is FALL PREVENTION AWARENESS month! How many strategies do you use to prevent falls?

As an occupational therapist, I like to think about fall prevention as a PERSON, TASK, and ENVIRONMENT match-up:

The abilities of the PERSON must match the requirements of the TASK, which must also match the setup of the ENVIRONMENT.

If one of these factors is mismatched with the others, a FALL or failure to perform is inevitable.

The good news is that each of these factors can be modified to increase the chance of success and safety!

PERSON - participate in therapy or exercise to improve strength, flexibility, balance, endurance, and safety awareness

TASK/ACTIVITY - change the way an activity is performed to make it less complex, either in number of steps, number of movements required, or amount of effort required (an OT can REALLY help with this aspect)

ENVIRONMENT - reduce clutter, provide places to sit, install grab bars/railing, increase lighting, and secure rugs/furniture to make the space less complicated and more user-friendly

At Thrive Home Wellness, we address the home environment to improve function and reduce the risk of falls. Reach out to learn how our Home Safety and Personal Assistant services can help your clients!
