In Cardiff and Vale we have a falls specialist team who offer comprehensive assessments for individuals who may be at risk of falling. Individuals can undergo a ‘fitness MOT’, have a detailed assessment of their potential falls risks and receive advice on how to maintain strength, balance and general health as they get older.
The team offer face to face appointments in the community or over the phone. Just call the team on 02921 832552 or email staysteady.cardiff@wales.nhs.uk and the team will get in touch with you within a few days.
This information below will help you to explain why you are contacting them:
I am seeking your advice following completion of the online Falls Prevention Signposting Tool on the Keeping Me Well website.
The tool advised me to contact you based on my responses, which included not being able to get off the floor following a fall without help from another person. I would be grateful for your assessment and guidance regarding next steps and any onward referral that may be appropriate.
