The Falls Prevention Service aims to reduce the incidences of falls in the older population of Trafford.
Additional Information about the service
Our falls prevention service provides information and support to older people in Trafford who have fallen or are at risk of falls. We aim to reduce unnecessary hospital admissions or readmission by helping people improve their mobility and confidence.
We provide:
A 16 week supported programme of postural stability exercise sessions and home exercise information. The programme is accessed via assessment only.
Postural Stability Programme weeks 1-8, for adults who are at risk of falling. Participants access evidence based exercise classes for staying active and reducing the chance of falling and are delivered by our fully qualified instructors. These sessions are free of charge.
Maintenance Programme weeks 9-16, an 8 week follow on programme for those completing the initial Postural Stability Programme. These sessions help people to maintain what they have learnt and adapt these skills to their every day life. There is a contribution of £3.50 for these sessions.
In addition to the 16 week programme we provide general strength and balance exercise classes. These sessions aim to improve overall wellbeing, fitness, and increase social interactions and are open to all older people.
Additional Support Available - Care Homes
Additional Support is offered by delivering bespoke programmes in care homes for staff and residents where appropriate.
