FALL PREVENTION is a top priority for us!
Sabine Ramsauer, Director of Rummelsberger Stift St. Lorenz
We help residents walk more safely through our regular G-WEG training. Of course, we also make sure they have fun while exercising. Walking exercises can be performed in three different lane widths, always tailored to the residents’ needs. It gets a bit more challenging when residents have to throw a ball while walking or balance a small sandbag.
The trainers motivate the residents, and if anyone needs support while walking, a caregiver is on hand to assist. Since the exercises take place in the common room, the other residents can watch and are encouraged to join in as well. Of course, there’s always a round of hearty applause once the distance has been covered. The residents’ pride is written all over their faces. It’s a great way to prevent falls!
