Fall Prevention
THE CHALLENGE:
Sequoia Senior Solutions recognizes the importance of fall prevention. We have developed this training program, oversight, and specific procedures to help reduce the risk of falling and to keep our seniors safe.
Our Solution
Home Inspection & Needs Assessment
Sequoia Senior Solutions performs a complimentary and personalized needs assessment and home inspection to ensure client safety and to reduce the risk of repeat falls.
Home Inspection Includes:
- Hygiene: Transfer benches, chairs, and handheld shower head all need to be inspected for safety
- Grab bars: Properly installed in high-risk areas
- Transfers: Transferring, gait belt & Hoyer lift training
- Toileting: Procedures & proximity for ease of use
- Entrances & Pathways: Ease of getting in/out and reducing tripping hazards

Caregiver Training
Many caregivers are specifically trained on Fall Prevention. Sequoia Senior Solutions can also schedule a training session with the client, caregiver, and therapist to further reduce the risk of falls. Each caregiver is carefully selected to work with a particular client, matching our needs assessment with the caregiver’s experience and the client’s personality with that of the caregiver. This allows consistency while the client regains independence over an extended period of time.
Supervision & Monitoring of Progress
A Sequoia Senior Solutions care manager will perform periodic visits to ensure that all caregivers follow proper procedures and will monitor progress and update the care plan as the situation evolves.
