Falls Service

This service aims to reduce the risk of falls through comprehensive assessment and timely intervention. It supports adults in the community who have fallen or are at increased risk. 

A multidisciplinary team conducts structured assessments—either in person or by phone—addressing factors such as mobility, balance, health, and home environment. The service focuses on short-term support and makes targeted referrals to appropriate services, ensuring individuals receive the right care at the right time.
