September is Fall Prevention Month

Did you know that falls are one of the leading causes of injury for older adults in Connecticut?
At Highland Caregivers, we talked with Kelly from Powerback Rehab to share practical tips that help seniors stay safe and independent at home.

Highland Caregivers provides trusted in-home caregiver support across Waterbury, Middlebury, Torrington, and nearby Connecticut towns, while Powerback Rehab offers therapy services that focus on strength, balance, and mobility.
Together, we’re here to help families keep their loved ones safe at home.

Caring for someone with dementia? If the person becomes agitated, try these tips to calm things down gently and positively:

• Speak softly and use a calm, reassuring tone. Avoid confrontation or anything that feels like chastisement.

• Give them space. Leaving the room for a short time can give them time to settle.

• Try distraction: Talk about something they enjoy, make their favourite drink, or even ask for their help with a small task. The offer of a cup of tea can work wonders.

• Change the setting: Move to another room, put on soothing music, or switch to a comforting TV programme.

Familiar items, such as photographs or special blankets, can also provide a lot of comfort.
