This falls prevention workshop was set up by Présence Verte Sud-Ouest Tarbes at the Marie-Aline Lanusse pavilion at the request of the president of the Clair Automne Association.
The Présence Verte Sud-Ouest agency in Tarbes has offered seniors the most suitable remote assistance solutions, for you or for one of your loved ones. With a local presence and therefore proximity to Tarbes, it supports many people in the departments of Hautes-Pyrénées, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Landes, Gers, Haute-Garonne and Ariège.
Trained in specific issues related to people's autonomy and new technologies applied to home support, the Tarbes advisor guaranteed:
– a human presence 24/7 with the operators of the Présence Verte listening centers
– technical and administrative monitoring by your local advisors: installation of equipment, assistance with use, maintenance and contract monitoring
– social advice
On the theme of the day she showed: how to protect yourself from falls, what to do in the event of a fall, how to prevent/alert family, a friend, a neighbor, or emergency services in the event of a fall.
The objective of this afternoon was therefore to: raise awareness about falls prevention; to acquire knowledge; to have for the most vulnerable a recovery of confidence to maintain a satisfactory level of activity; encourage change or adaptation of lifestyle habits; to provide guidance or give advice for sustainable individual practices.
A presentation of adapted materials took place during the meeting.
A snack followed the presentation.
