About Event:

Falls in patients with Dementia and Alzheimer's present significant challenges in caregiving. Dementia is a progressive neurological condition impairing memory, thinking, and behaviour. It increases the risk of falls due to cognitive decline, balance issues, and reduced spatial awareness. Alzheimer's, the most common form of dementia, exacerbates these risks as it advances. Dementia care focuses intensely on fall prevention strategies. Caregivers implement measures such as removing tripping hazards, installing grab bars, and ensuring adequate lighting. Supervision is crucial as patients may wander or attempt tasks beyond their ability. Regular physical activity and balance exercises are encouraged to maintain strength and coordination.
