Seeking Care After a Fall

oscar-sutton-rNTXkBaQAvk-unsplash-scaled

We’ve all seen the commercials depicting the misfortune of an individual taking a fall in their home. The scene typically plays out with the fall victim on the floor calling for help, followed by a sales pitch for the product being advertised. While the actors on the screen are simply playing a part, the incident shown is far from fiction. According to the CDC, older adults are treated for falls every eleven seconds. Since more than 2.8 million fall injuries occur annually, there is certainly a great need to raise awareness, or at least offer a reminder to those at risk. With statistics like these, a fall injury is likely to hit close to home for many.

However, what the commercials do not show is what happens afterward. We can assume medical interventions were provided, but what kind of aid is given when the hospital stay is over? Eventually, they will be sent home to heal from their injuries and, depending on severity of the damage, taking care of oneself can be difficult if not impossible in some cases. Luckily, there are services available to assist those recovering from a fall injury which are offered right in the comfort of their own home. Aqua Home Care refers quality in-home-care services and finds caregivers who go above and beyond to assist those mending from a fall during their recovery process.

Fall injuries take varying lengths of time to heal. Bruising of muscles and bones may take a few weeks while a fracture can take months. Whether you need in-home-care for a short period of time or a longer duration, Aqua Home Care will find a trusted caregiver who can accommodate. Your caregiver can offer assistance with daily and nightly routines and activities, such as help with:

  • Getting dressed and undressed
  • Meal preparation
  • Cleaning up after messes
  • Driving to and from doctor appointments, the grocery store, etc.
  • Using the bathroom facilities
  • Maintaining hygiene
  • And more

Recovering from any physical trauma can be a daunting, and sometimes intimidating, task. If you or a loved one has experienced a fall and is looking for someone who can provide care that is professional, compassionate and effective then seek no further. Aqua Home Care is here to help you pick up the pieces after a fall with our trusted caregiver referral services.
