In honour of Falls Prevention Awareness Month, we welcome back expert pain physiotherapist Meghan Dean to discuss a proactive approach to ageing well at home.

This episode moves beyond simple home modifications to explore the core philosophy of the Support at Home program: reablement. We discuss why "taking it easy" can sometimes be the wrong advice after a fall, and how a multisdisciplinary team works synergistically to keep you strong, safe, and independent.

🎙️ In this episode, we discuss:

• The Three Domains of Risk: Physical, cognitive, and environmental factors that lead to falls.

• The "Near-Miss" Warning Signs: Why "furniture walking" and stumbling are critical clinical indicators.

• Expanding Safety Loops: A strategic method for rebuilding confidence after a fall.

• OT vs. Physio: How these two professions complement each other to create a complete safety net.

• Accessing Funding: Navigating the Support at Home clinical supports without co-contributions.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: Have you noticed any of the "near-miss" signs Meghan mentioned—like relying on furniture for balance or feeling that rising from a chair has become more effortful? Share your experience in the comments or join the conversation on our socials!
