Personalized Assessments: Quick and thorough evaluations by our expert team.
Comprehensive Results: Each participant receives a detailed assessment sheet to share with their primary care provider.
Pre-Made Event Flyers: Prior to the event, you’ll receive pre-made event flyers that you can distribute to your residents and display around your facility.
Screening Details:
Timed Up and Go (TUG): Measures the time it takes to stand up, walk three meters, turn around, walk back, and sit down.
30 Second Chair Rise: Counts how many times you can stand up from a seated position in 30 seconds.
4 Stage Balance Test: Tests your ability to maintain balance in progressively difficult positions.
Benefits:
Minimal Staff Involvement: Our team handles all aspects of the screening.
Quick and Efficient: Each assessment takes only 5-10 minutes.
Free of Charge: This program is completely free to enhance community health.
Recommended Schedule:
While annual screenings are recommended, Amberwell suggests screening every 6 months for the best results.
Next Steps for At-Risk Residents:
If you’re resident is identified as at risk, we recommend they consult with their primary care provider about a referral for fall risk prevention therapy to enhance stability and reduce fall risks.
