What to Expect

At the Falls Prevention Clinic, your appointment will include a Falls Risk Assessment and a comprehensive assessment with a Geriatrician. The evidence–based Falls Risk Assessment will be performed by one of our Geriatrician Assistants, and will include various tests and activities to assess your strength, balance, vision, proprioception and reaction time. There will also be a variety of questionnaires assessing your state of independent living and cognitive health. Afterwards, you will see a Geriatrician (physician specializing in Geriatric care) who will focus on diagnosis, test interpretation, and intervention to prevent future falls.

Your appointment may take up to 3 hours.

Before your appointment we will mail you a confirmation letter that tells you where your appointment will take place, and what you should wear and bring to your appointment.

Please bring:

• All of the medications you are currently taking
