Enhancing Fall Prevention: Addressing Mental Well-being in Home Care

Discover how your home care agency can enhance fall prevention by addressing mental well-being. While age and medical history are known fall risk factors, mental distress plays a significant role too. Seniors with low mood are 26% more likely to fall. Cognitive impairment, medication side effects, and reduced activity are linked to increased fall risk. Sensi.AI's advanced technology detects subtle mood changes, enabling timely intervention [1].

Risk Mitigation Strategies:

1. Monitor mental and emotional well-being alongside physical health.
2. Include mental distress and mood changes in care plans.
3. Equip caregivers with knowledge to identify signs of distress.
4. Facilitate activities promoting mental well-being.
5. Establish partnerships with mental health professionals.
6. Educate caregivers and seniors about emotional distress importance.
7. Involve family members in the care process [1].

Learn how Sensi.AI's innovative technology aids in proactive fall prevention. By addressing mental well-being, we ensure a safer environment for seniors [1].
