Hence, many assisted living facilities play an important role in ensuring the safety of the residents by offering the fall prevention strategies. Assisted Living Homes in Chennai is very well-committed to creating a secure and comfortable environment for the seniors by incorporating thoughtful designs and necessary prevention strategies. Hence, this blog explains you to know the fall prevention strategies at Aayushka Assisted Living.
Railing Throughout The Facility
One of the challenging tasks for the seniors is to navigate through the hallways, staircases, and outdoor spaces especially with those who have mobility issues/ At Aayushka Living we understand this difficulty and have installed a complete sturdy railing throughout the facility. This approach from us ensures that our residents have complete support while walking. Also, these railings offer excellent stability and reduce the risk of falls enhancing the overall mobility of our residents.
Anti-Skid Tiles
Secondly, slippery surfaces are one of the major hazards for seniors with increasing chances of accidental slips and falls. We at Aayushka Living have incorporated the anti-skid tiles in the bathrooms and common areas. These tiles offer a better grip significantly reducing the chances of slipping especially in the highly wet areas. So, with the usage of textured surfaces our facility ensures that the space is equipped with well-preventive measures making it safer for walking and wheelchairs.
Lifts for Easy Accessibility
The stairs can pose a significant risk for the seniors while navigating through the facility. Hence, we at Aayushka ensure the safety of the residents by installing high-quality, well-maintained lifts. These lifts ensure a seamless movement between the floors making the manoeuvrability much easier. Also, these elevators are spacious and equipped with emergency buttons for easy operation. Therefore, by eliminating the need of climbing the stairs, Aayushka Living helps in preventing the falls enhancing the accessibility for all residents.
24/7 Staff Support
One of the most crucial aspects of fall prevention is immediate assistance. AtAayushka Living we ensure that round the clock our staff are available to offer support whenever necessary. Also, our staff are well trained to assist our residents with mobility and help them to navigate different areas and respond promptly during emergencies. This proactive approach from us helps in monitoring the residents movement minimizing the risks of falls ensuring timely intervention during any incident.
Hand Railings in Bathrooms
Bathrooms are perhaps the most prone to accidents in elderly people owing to slippery floors and inadequate support. Aayushka Living has placed strategically located hand railings in each bathroom, specifically around toilets. Strong grab bars assist residents with great support, which enables them to stay balanced in the course of everyday activities such as bathing and toilet use. The availability of these railings greatly minimizes the chances of falls, granting elderly people much more confidence and independence.
At Aayushka Living, residents’ safety and well-being are of the highest priority. By adding railings across the facility, utilizing anti-skid tiles, making the lifts accessible, offering 24/7 staff assistance, and hand railings in bathrooms, Aayushka Living makes the environment safe and fall-free. All these precautionary measures not only reduce risks but also enable seniors to move around freely and in confidence within their own living areas. Families can have peace of mind in knowing that their loved ones are in a safe and caring environment, where every effort is made to ensure their wellbeing.
