Fall prevention

One in three people aged 65 and over falls at least once a year. Many falls can be prevented. By staying active and making your home safer.  Don’t wait to take precautions. We support you wherever you need it — with tips and advice to help you age in good health. Our experts can also visit your home to help make it safer or suggest aids that suit your lifestyle. So you can remain as independent as possible and keep doing the things you enjoy.

Dementia

In Flanders, around 100,000 people are living with dementia. But every person with dementia is unique, and every care situation is different. Helan supports you with:

  • advice from our dementia specialists
  • administrative support from our social workers
  • care equipment from the Helan Care Shop
  • home care wherever you need it

Incontinence

Incontinence can have a major impact on your quality of life. Are you experiencing difficulties controlling your bladder or bowels? Don’t keep struggling with it. There are solutions to help you maintain your comfort and independence as much as possible.
