MORE THAN MEDICINE

A safer path forward for Mary

Living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Mary was recovering from a recent fall and caring for her husband with advanced Parkinson’s. Limited mobility and unsafe entryways made it nearly impossible for her to leave home — and she had already fallen twice since returning from the hospital. None of these challenges had been identified by her primary doctor or other providers.

During her Welcome Visit, Homeward’s care navigator and provider uncovered urgent safety needs that had gone unnoticed. Together, they coordinated home health support, arranged for railings to be installed, and made sure Mary could safely attend her upcoming appointments.

“If we weren’t there, she would have fallen. She would not make it to her appointments and would be back in the hospital in a week.”

Why fall prevention matters

Falls can happen because of medications, home hazards, or even after an illness or surgery.

Worrying doesn’t prevent falls – taking action does.

With Homeward, you get not just advice, but a clear plan that fits your life.

Did you know?

Every year, 1 in 4 adults over age 65 experiences a fall. But most falls can be prevented with simple changes at home and regular check-ins.
