"I have a lot of experience conducting fall risk assessments in patients' homes and educating them on potential areas of hazard. In these assessments, I'm helping identify and remove clutter, excess furniture, and throw rugs that could be trip hazards. I'm also looking for opportunities to increase the patient's safety, like installing handrails in the shower, on staircases, and at the bedside. If a patient has stability issues or limited mobility, I also make recommendations for bedside commodes, shower benches, raised toilet seats, and electric recliners and teach them proper body mechanics for each assistive device. Lighting is also important throughout the house, so I help identify areas where nightlights or other improvements can be made to ensure safety."
