In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Dessy, a geriatric physical therapist, to discuss fall prevention and how it's perceived among older adults.
We cover the importance of positive messaging, the psychological impacts of fear of falling, and the significance of person-centered care.
Dr. Desdy shares insights from her experience working in skilled nursing facilities and emphasizes the need for tailored strategies to improve movement and reduce fall risks.
This conversation highlights the balance between safety protocols and empowering older adults to maintain their independence and quality of life.
