“Dad keeps falling at home when no one is around… what do I do?”
If this thought has crossed your mind, you are not alone. Falls are one of the biggest reasons seniors end up back in the hospital — and often families notice warning signs before a serious injury happens.
Signs it may be time for extra help at home:
• unexplained bruises
• trouble getting up from chairs or bed
• holding onto furniture while walking
• forgetting to use a walker or cane
• increased weakness after rehab or hospitalization
• fear of being alone
Home care can help reduce fall risks while allowing your loved one to remain safely at home.
At BrightStar Care of Westfield & Summit, our caregivers and RN-led team can assist with:
Serving Westfield, Summit, Cranford, Scotch Plains, Berkeley Heights, Mountainside, Clark, Fanwood & surrounding Union County NJ areas.
