London Borough of Southwark, GB works with Safe Steps on app for improved in-home senior care

London Borough of Southwark, GB Safe Steps Senior Care App

The planned Safe Steps app evaluates fall risks after users input patient information. A checklist of recommendations follows every risk evaluation. Senior care providers in Southwark gained access to the app upon completion. Safe Steps achieved a 28% reduction in falls during an initial pilot in care homes. Borough officials hope the Safe Steps partnership reduces the costs of hospital stays and increases the quality of in-home care.
