Fall Prevention
Fall prevention is largely emphasized with our focus of prevention.

This screen is done by a physical therapist so that a skilled clinician is providing professional care and advice. This is provided on a regular basis to show improvement hopefully or if not improvement then the client is given specific instructions to improve.
Home Safety Screening
To continue with our focus of prevention we also offer free home safety screens upon moving in to a new place. Our Occupational Therapist will look to be sure furniture is placed properly and observe to see if there is any safety concerns to be addressed.
