Meet Arthur
Monitoring fall-risk at every level of care
Arthur has been living independently for the last several years, but he chooses to move into Maple Oaks, a CCRC in his town, after his grown children move out of state. He's healthy and active for his age.
While at Maple Oaks, his therapist preforms a fall-risk assessment with him using VSTBalance. Arthur is surprised to find out he is classified at medium fall risk, since he prides himself in staying active.
Several months later, Arthur learns he needs a hip replacement. After surgery, he becomes a high fall risk, but Maple Oaks uses VSTAlert in his room to prevent bedside falls. The care staff are able to assist him when the system senses a bed exit so he stays protected while recovering.
Once fully recovered, Arthur is able to regain his independence, but still returns monthly for a rescreen on VSTBalance to make sure his fall-risk stays as low as possible. He feels confident in his mobility is able to consciously improve his quantitative fall-risk report.
