Hertfordshire Active Living

This form enables health professionals working with you to find out how you are managing at home, and whether you need any extra help to reduce your risk of falling and getting hurt in future.

Anyone who is aged over 75, can fill in this form. A carer, family member or a health professional - such as a doctor or nurse - can fill in the form with you if you need help.

If the answers you give show that you are at a higher risk of falling, the people involved in your care will be able to signpost you to further advice and support.

Section A

Do you have difficulty getting to the loo in time at home?

Do you have any health problems that require you to stay at home?

Do you often use a stick, frame or wheelchair to get around?

Please add up all of your scores, what is your total?

What next?

If you have answered ‘YES’ to any of the questions in Section A or if your total score in Section B is 4 or more, with your consent we may refer you to HertsHelp.

Please tick the box if you agree to be referred to HertsHelp.

If you answered the questions in this form and:

• you haven’t had any falls in the past year
