Fall Risk Assessment & Prevention™
Falls often begin with subtle changes — decreased balance confidence, slower walking, or safety challenges at home. This program is designed to identify fall risk early, before injury or loss of independence occurs.
Non-Clinical Mobility Assessments
What This Program Is
A one-time, non-skilled in-home assessment focused on:
Fall risk factors
Walking and balance confidence
Home safety concerns
Education and prevention guidance
This assessment does not automatically start physical therapy.
Who This Is For
→ Older adults living independently
→ Families concerned about fall risk
→ Individuals noticing early balance or mobility changes
→ Those seeking guidance without committing to therapy
Who This Is Not For
→ Individuals requiring urgent medical treatment
→ People already enrolled in physical therapy
→ Those seeking skilled rehabilitation services
Funding & Payment
→ Private pay
→ RHT / aging-in-place funding (when applicable)
→ MAHA or community prevention programs
What Happens After the Assessment
→ Based on findings, individuals may:
→ Continue independently with education
→ Monitor mobility changes over time
→ Be guided toward physical therapy if medically necessary
How long does a fall risk assessment take?
Most visits take about 60 minutes.
Does this replace physical therapy?
No. This assessment helps determine whether therapy is appropriate, but does not replace skilled care.
Is this covered by Medicare?
Medicare does not cover preventive assessments. This service is non-Medicare.
Can family members be present?
Yes. Family involvement is encouraged.
