Dementia Falls Prevention Programme
We were the chosen professionals by NHS Hertfordshire to develop a falls prevention programme specific to dementia clients. Our report showed that not only did we save the NHS over £78,000 over 10 weeks but we reduced the hospital visits from the care homes partaking by 55% and the most amazing results was that the clients assessments showed a 66% increase of muscle strength and joint flexion.
