ASHTON COMMONS SENIOR LIVING As we age, maintaining our balance and mobility becomes increasingly important - not just for independence, but for safety and quality of life. At Ashton Commons Senior Living, we take fall prevention seriously. That's why we work closely with our in-house therapy partner, PowerBack Rehab, to support our residents in staying active, steady, and safe. Being "high risk" for falls isn't just about age. While those over 65 are at higher risk, many other factors can increase someone's likelihood of falling, such as multiple medications, chronic pain, visual changes, or even fear of falling. Environmental hazards like clutter, stairs, thick carpets, or pets can also raise the risk. COMMUNITY HEALTH GUIDE Staying One Step Ahead of Falls This Fall Often, falls happen after subtle warning signs like changes in gait, increased fatigue, or medication side effects. The good news is that many falls are preventable when the right steps are taken early. That's why regular screenings and increased awareness are so important even before a fall ever occurs. At Ashton Commons, our therapy partner PowerBack Rehab works closely with residents to evaluate balance, strength, and mobility concerns. By identifying fall risk factors early, we can create personalized plans that help residents live as independently and confidently as possible. This may include strength and balance exercises, gait training, safe movement techniques, and recommendations for assistive devices or home adjustments to enhance safety and independence. To share more about our approach, we're hosting a special Open House on Saturday, August 23 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This event is a great opportunity to learn about the lifestyle options available at Ashton Commons and how we help residents stay proactive when it comes to fall prevention. PowerBack Rehab will also be offering free balance and fall risk screenings during the event. Whether you're concerned about your own safety or that of a loved one, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn, connect, and take a smart step toward safer, healthier living.
