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 takes an interdisciplinary approach to identifying patients who are at risk of falling and implements measures to prevent and decrease the probability of a patient experiencing a fall in the future. 

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
