How EverFit Empowers Carers to Prevent Falls and Build Careers

care companies carers coaches May 06, 2025

As a care professional, your days are filled with moments of compassion, patience, and service. You help with everyday tasks, offer emotional support, and ensure your clients feel safe and cared for. But what if you could offer even more?

What if, beyond daily care, you could actively contribute to your clients’ long-term health, confidence, and independence? A positive attitude is essential in caregiving roles, as it helps build trust and rapport with clients, particularly older adults, and enhances the overall caregiving experience.

That’s exactly what EverFit enables.

EverFit is an innovative training and certification program that equips carers and allied health professionals with the skills to become certified mobility coaches. This means helping clients regain strength, improve balance, and dramatically reduce their risk of falls — all while enhancing your own career and earning potential.

Whether you work in in-home care, a residential setting, or as an independent practitioner, EverFit is designed to seamlessly integrate into your professional world and elevate your daily impact.

Why Mobility Coaching Matters More Than Ever

The Growing Challenge of Falls

Falls are one of the most common and devastating health issues faced by older adults. According to Age UK, they are the leading cause of injury-related deaths in people over 75, and the numbers are climbing. In 2017, over 5,000 older individuals died as a result of a fall, a 70% increase since 2010.

The statistics are sobering:

  • 255,000 emergency hospital admissions annually for falls among those 65+.

  • £2.3 billion annual cost to the NHS, or roughly £6 million every single day.

  • £4.4 billion total cost of fragility fractures, with hip fractures alone making up nearly £2 billion.

Behind each of these numbers is a real person — someone who has lost their confidence, mobility, or even their independence because of a preventable incident.

The Evidence: Exercise Prevents Falls

Thankfully, science provides a solution. Structured exercise programs focusing on strength, balance, flexibility, and mobility have significantly reduced the risk of falls. Regular physical activity improves physical function, mental well-being, confidence, and overall quality of life.

Yet, many care settings still lack proactive approaches to physical well-being. EverFit fills this gap, training carers to deliver safe, effective mobility support that fits within existing care routines.


What Is EverFit?

EverFit is more than a course — it’s a movement. Developed specifically for carers and allied health professionals, the program teaches:

  • How the ageing body changes and why strength, balance, and mobility matter

  • How to perform mobility assessments as part of a comprehensive assessment approach

  • How to design personalised, progressive movement plans

  • Safe and effective coaching techniques

  • Communication strategies to encourage participation

The curriculum comprises twelve flexible modules that can be completed online or in person. Once you finish the program, you receive your EverFit Certification — a powerful career credential.

And the benefits don’t stop at the certificate.

5. Join a Supportive Community
