Its Fall Awareness Week!

"The difference it has made is incredible. I can have a shower whenever I want. Before, I couldn't manage stepping over into the bath, so having a wet room has been a blessing."

John, who lives in Swansea, began experiencing problems with his legs, which affected his balance and mobility.

"They got worse and worse and now my balance has gone, and they just don’t work. The muscles have shrunk tremendously."

Because of his balance issues, John was worried about falling. After receiving support from Age Cymru, who helped him claim the benefits he was entitled to, John was put in touch with Care & Repair to make his home safer and reduce his risk of falls.

John said: "Someone visited within a fortnight, and the following week the work began. I had grab rails fitted at the front and back doors, as well as in the bathroom. The one by the bath was a lifesaver."

As John's balance continued to deteriorate, the council fitted a wet room and stairlift in his home. The wet room includes a shower chair and non-slip flooring, making bathing safer and easier.

"The difference it has made is incredible. I can have a shower whenever I want. Before, I couldn't manage stepping over into the bath, so having a wet room has been a blessing."

The stairlift has also had a huge impact on John's daily life. "I don't know how I managed without it. We don't have a downstairs toilet, and with my mobility problems, getting upstairs was becoming very difficult."

John's story shows how simple, practical adaptations around the home can help reduce the risk of falls and support people to live independently for longer.

If you're worried about falling, the most important thing you can do is talk to someone. Your GP surgery can offer advice and may be able to refer you to local falls prevention services or a Falls Clinic.

Are you warm enough? 🔥

Making sure your heating system is working and efficient is key to staying warm and healthy. Book a boiler service with a trusted engineer, who can also check your pipework and make sure the boiler pressure is right. You could also ‘bleed’ your radiators, which releases trapped air in the heating system and makes your radiators work more efficiently.
