Move Safely

While one in three older Americans falls every year, falls don’t have to be a normal part of aging. We are committed to partnering with you to reduce your risk of falling and the serious injuries that can be caused by falls. The goal of our Safe Steps Program is to help you move safely and confidently through your golden years.

If you are an older adult (age 65+) and you have fallen, feel unsteady on your feet, or simply lack confidence when walking, call 302-320-6475 to learn more or schedule an appointment today.

About Safe Steps

The ChristianaCare Safe Steps Program is here to teach you how to reduce your fall risk. Also, we evaluate any health problems that are putting you at risk for a fall. The Safe Steps Program offers a team of experts in physical medicine and rehabilitation along with nurse navigators and pharmacists. Our team members work together to address many factors that contribute to falls. These include:

Physical factors like balance, gait, and muscle strength.
Environmental issues like clutter and poor lighting.

By addressing all these factors, we can reduce your risk of falls. This can help you avoid serious injuries and hospital stays. It may even help you with other life goals like living longer in your own home.
