Is falls prevention worth it after just one fall?

Yes — the biggest risk factor for a future fall is a previous fall. A structured programme reduces recurrence.

Do you assess vision and medications?

We check both as part of falls assessment. Vision correction and medication reviews (with your doctor) are often high-impact fixes.

Is a home visit useful?

Very much so — a room-by-room hazard review often identifies quick, cheap fixes that clinic assessment can miss.
