Fall Prevention Thru Balance Correction

Fall Prevention Clinics of America has become Chicagoland’s premier medical practice specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of dizziness and balance dysfunction for people of all ages.  While we have patientswho come to us from Wisconsin, Indiana, and downstate Illinois, we often hear from those in local retirement communities who would like to participate in our program, but have no reliable transportation.  Therefore, in September 2008, we successfully created the “No Falls Zone” initiative, which brings our program, including diagnostic equipment, M.D.s, Audiologists, PTs and CNAs to the community.

   The “No Falls Zone” Initiative is successful for communities because:

1.     Residents who don’t fall are likely to remain with you longer.
2.     Communities with the program are distinguished from others.
3.     Prospective families want their loved ones are in a community that addresses one of their primary health issues.
4.     Fewer falls means fewer injuries and fewer reporting incidents.
5.     Our physician practice utilizes guidelines and protocols from the American Geriatric Society, and Medicare Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (6-2007).
6.     Medicare (Medicare PQRI June 2007) wants all seniors to be evaluated for their falls injury risk.
