Walkways™ Fall Risk Reduction Program

Falls are not an inevitable part of aging – especially with our Watchways™ Fall Risk Reduction Program on your side.

WILLCARE tracks outcomes to measure effectiveness, and to date, the program is at 97% in achieving its goals. WILLCARE’s Fall Prevention Interventions include: 

  • Standardized falls risk assessments
  • Home safety assessment and safety checklist
  • Review of medications and side effects
  • Individualized exercise program
  • Gait training
  • Assistive device assessment and instruction
