🏠 Fall Prevention at Home
Did you know that most falls in older adults happen at home? The good news - small changes can make a big difference in staying safe and independent.
✅ Simple ways to reduce fall risk:
• Remove clutter and keep walkways clear
• Add nightlights in hallways and bathrooms
• Install grab bars near toilets and in the shower
• Use non-slip mats in the bathroom and kitchen
• Ensure rugs are secured or use rug grips
• Keep frequently used items within easy reach
• Wear supportive, well-fitting shoes — even indoors
💡 A safer home means more confidence and independence every day.
