In Australia, one in three adults aged over 65 fall each year. These falls can lead to serious physical injury, emotional distress and a significant financial burden — not only for the individual, but also for their families and carers. At integratedliving, we understand how important it is to reduce that risk and maintain independence, and our Falls Prevention Wellness program is designed just for that.
Our Falls Prevention Wellness program draws on the latest research into falls prevention and forms part of our broader programs for health and wellness offered to older Australians. This program will help you understand why falls occur, and give you practical tools and strategies to minimise your risk of falls and fractures. You’ll also learn what to do in the event that a fall happens, so you’re mentally prepared and confident in how to respond.
What you can expect:
- A detailed assessment to identify individual risk factors—such as balance, strength, mobility, vision, medications and home environment—and tailor the program accordingly.
- Specialist advice and guided exercise routines led by qualified professionals to build strength, flexibility and balance.
- Education sessions that cover safe movement, fall recovery techniques, how to make the home safer, and when to seek medical help.
- Access to peer support, group classes or individual coaching—whichever is best suited to your needs.
These programs are designed to be accessible, supportive and empowering. Whether delivered in our Wellness Centres, in your home, or virtually, they make it easier for older adults to stay active, reduce fear of falling, and enhance overall quality of life.
If you or a loved one want to reduce the risk of falls, enhance strength and balance, or simply feel more secure moving around, our Falls Prevention Wellness program can help. Reach out to integratedliving to learn more or register today. Let us support you to live well, feel well and be safe.
