At Hackney Stop Falls Network, we support older people to stay independent at home, in the following ways:

Home safety scheme 

Through this scheme you can have a thorough safety check. With your help we aim to identify and remove hazards and to fit small aids where they are needed for your safety.

The safety check is free and labour for any remedial work will be free. We provide some free equipment and can refer to the Occupational Therapy Service for other equipment you may need. You will need to pay for some equipment and if you wish to 'Top up ' your prescription then the following TCES Price List provides you with the necessary information.

Exercise Programmes We run special exercise courses to retrain balance and boost strength. You learn how to keep yourself strong and steady and how to avoid falls. We run classes at local centres, and a special home-based programme for those who cannot get out and about

Connecting you to other support services  We have links to a range of falls prevention services, including osteopathy treatments, physiotherapy assessments, clinical investigations, Telecare personal panic alarms, other community exercise-for-health schemes and so on

Education, information, activity and fun  Our handy ‘Get up, Stand up!’ booklet has practical advice and helpful phone numbers. We run community get-togethers and open days where you can do health checks, try out exercise,

learn about nutrition, health, and home safety; and swap experiences and tipswith others
