Staying Safe & Well
Supporting safety and independence at home
Small changes and the right support can help make everyday life at home safer and more manageable.
​
Reducing the risk of falls
Keeping walkways clear, using suitable footwear, having good lighting and using prescribed mobility equipment correctly can all help. If falls or mobility are becoming a concern, appropriate health or social care professionals should be contacted for assessment.
Medication support
Some people only need reminders, while others need more direct support. The type of medication support provided by a care worker should be assessed, agreed and clearly recorded in the care plan.
Staying connected
Regular conversation, hobbies, outings and contact with family or friends can all support wellbeing. Companionship care can help someone continue activities that are meaningful to them.
Maintaining independence
Good care should support a person to continue doing what they can for themselves, rather than automatically taking over.
