If you are concerned about falling or have already fallen, please contact your GP first. It is important to find out why you feel unsteady or have experienced a fall. Further information may be downloaded here.

If you need guidance on what changes to make, the council's Falls Assessment Coordinator can arrange an assessment in your own home. The assessment can help you to identify particular areas of risk and advise on actions to reduce them. In some circumstances, the Coordinator can directly organise services such as the installation of grab rails by the Handy Persons Team, telecare services or assessment by the Occupational Therapy Team for specialist aids or equipment.
The falls prevention service is carried out at your home, this is because most falls in the borough tend to take place at home and therefore a holistic assessment needs to be completed.
The assessment is used to identify risks and hazards which can be changed in order to reduce the likelihood of further falls.
The assessment looks to assess the needs of the person and their environment and both are carried out when we visit.
