Why it matters
Falls are common, serious and often preventable.
The CDC is clear that falls are not a normal part of aging. Steady support, a safer home and staying active all lower the risk.
Sources: CDC, older adult falls; CDC MMWR, falls and hip fractures.
What's included
Help with every kind of move.
✓ Walking with them, inside and out
✓ Getting in and out of bed
✓ Bed to chair and chair to toilet
✓ In and out of the car
✓ Standing up and sitting down safely
✓ Using a cane, walker or wheelchair
✓ Gentle movement the therapist suggested
✓ Clearing trip hazards as we go
Mobility help is part of Personal Care, so it comes with everything in Wellness Care too: company, meals, housekeeping and outings. Caregivers can follow exercises a physical therapist has given, but they don't provide therapy.
How we do it
Safe, but never smothering.
Keep them moving
Doing too much for someone weakens them. We help them walk and stand on their own as much as they safely can.
Safe techniques
Caregivers help with standing, turning and transfers the safe way, using the equipment your loved one already has.
Out of the house
A wheelchair or walker doesn't have to mean staying in. We help with the car and go along on outings.
Signs it may be time
You might be noticing:
Holding onto furniture or walls to get around
A fall, or a near miss, in the last few months
Trouble getting up from a chair or the toilet
Shuffling, or afraid to walk without help
Bruises they can't explain
Skipping outings because getting there is hard
If you've noticed any of these, a free in-home assessment is a good next step. We'll look at the home, how they get around, and where a steady hand would help most.
Transparent pricing
$32 an hour
Part of Personal Care, so it's one plan, not an add-on. Standard visits are 4 hours or more, with at least 8 hours a week. Shorter visits may be possible, so please ask.
Ways to save
Best Price Guarantee: for new private-pay clients, we'll beat a comparable written rate from a professional home care agency for your first 6 months. Additional eligibility terms may apply.
Common questions
Hands-on help with walking and transfers is part of Personal Care (Level 2), which includes everything in Wellness Care too.
Caregivers help with standing, sitting and transfers using safe techniques. If someone can't bear weight at all, we'll talk through what's safe for them during the free in-home assessment.
Yes. Caregivers can encourage and help with the exercises a physical therapist has given. They don't provide therapy themselves.
Caregivers are trained to keep them safe, call for help if needed, and let the office and your family know right away.
