Fall-Risk Assessments

One of the many things CIHCS works with the community on is fall-risk assessments. A fall-risk assessment involves using tools that are shown to be effective in specifying the causes of falls in an individual.  As a person's health and circumstances change, reassessment is necessary and recommended for their homes and residence to ensure they are safe.

The following are some steps CCHAT can take to work with you to make your homes safer:

  • Check to see if furniture, cords, and other objects are in the way
  • Make sure commonly used items (medication, cookware, etc.) are reachable
  • Ensure railings are secure
  • Supply night lights for adequate lighting around residence
  • Supply tape/rug mats to make rugs and carpets secure
  • Help coordinate anything that needs more than just a simple fix
