Accidental falls can be serious especially when it comes to senior patients. At their delicate age, keeping their balance may be harder for them compared to younger people. Make sure that you assess the severity of the fall so you can have your loved one checked for any injuries. Some injuries may need them to stay longer in the hospital to recover safely with medical supervision. Other times they can just go home after a few days and continue their rest at home. Make sure that you can make their recovery from a fall as comfortable as possible because our senior loved ones recover slower than the young adults they once were.

Here are recovery tips you need to keep in mind:

• Provide Proper Nutrition
  Our licensed caregivers providing Home Health Services in the DFW Metroplex, allow us to outline nutritious meal plans that will help your senior loved one recuperate faster at home. This, coupled with a good diet and follow-through of needed medication.
• Require Fitness
  Even though they accidentally injured their ankle or knee, they should still keep an active lifestyle and have other muscle strengthening exercises. These routines help prevent them from going through atrophy and further weakening of their muscles. Letting them have light movement exercises like arm raises and heel raises will greatly help their blood circulation. Consequently, it helps speed up their recovery when oxygen and other nutrients get delivered to different parts of the body.
• Establish Safety
  After their fall, circle back to where the accident took place and check with them to identify what caused the fall. Establish the same kind of safety around the house by making sure that loose objects are not in hallways and that faulty equipment will get fixed.
