Balance Management
AseraCare Home Health’s balance management program, called
S.T.E.P.S. (Standing Tall Education Program and Services), is
designed to engage and motivate patients, their families and/or
caregivers to learn the best methods of preventing injury and/or
falls.
Our home healthcare program addresses risks that are unique to
each person and are customized using industry-proven clinical
practices. Our interdisciplinary team approach, which utilizes a
wide spectrum of healthcare professionals, helps to identify
factors that contribute to the risks for falling to design a
comprehensive plan of care, as well as set appropriate goals. Our
goal is to offer a solution to reduce hospitalizations or avoid
lengthy skilled care or assisted living stays due to the result of
falls.
During home visits, our home health nursing professionals
will:
- Provide a comprehensive clinical assessment to identify risk
factors
- Develop an in-home exercise plan to increase balance and
strength
- Educate you on medication management
- Provide assistance with vision correction, if needed
- Create plan to reduce home-based hazards
- Provide training for use of assistive devices
