Step Up & Stay Up
Through our Step Up and Stay Up campaign, we are working proactively together to prevent falling. During September, we will be walking a total of 500 miles across the group, with staff, residents, relatives and visiting professionals donating their steps.
The Avery Falls Prevention Programme provides information to residents and families to take positive actions to reduce the risk of falling.
Falling is not an inevitable part of getting older and can be prevented. A fall can affect a person’s physical well-being and impact psychological and social well-being too. The fear of falling can then result in avoiding activity, leading to social isolation and increasing frailty. For more information on the programe, click here.
So far, we have achieved 100% of our target!
