Safe and Sound: A Holistic Approach to Balance and Fall Prevention
“Safe and Sound” is an unparalleled falls and balance program, proven to increase seniors’ safety.
Odom Rehab’s therapists combat the greatest contributing factors associated with falls with a comprehensive approach. Our program ensures that the residents of senior communities are healthy, engaged, and thriving.
Our Method
- Identify risk and assess: We collaborate with nursing, caregivers, and family to identify modifiable risk factors.
- Intervene: We address the whole person, proactively intervening to minimize fall risk.
- Ongoing monitoring: Odom Rehab is a consistent and accessible clinical resource in the community. Our unique position cultivates an ongoing relationship with residents which allows us to identify early signs of decline and immediate intervention.
Our Focus
- Lower body weakness. We target the specific muscles that contribute to stability.
- Difficulties with walking and balance. Optimizing gait pattern and refining balance reactions steadies mobility.
- Vision problems. Assessing vision and modifying the environment accommodates vision deficits.
- Footwear and foot pain. Safe and comfortable footwear builds stability from the ground up.
- Home hazards and dangers. Our 100-point checklist ensures safe mobility and accessibility within the home.
- Care team collaboration. Odom experts coordinate with physicians and nurses within the community to advocate for your wellness.
Outcomes of the Safe and Sound Program
Residents will gain confidence, safety, and independence in the home and mobility in the community.
