November is Fall Prevention Month 🍂
Did you know that most falls happen right at home — and many are completely preventable?
At Salius Rehab, our therapists work closely with seniors to build confidence, strength, and balance through personalized exercise programs and mobility strategies. We also assess home environments to identify simple modifications that can make a big difference — like removing loose rugs, improving lighting, and installing supportive grab bars.
✨ Simple Fall Prevention Tips:
• Keep frequently used items within easy reach to avoid overreaching or using unstable furniture for support.
• Wear well-fitting, non-slip shoes — even indoors.
• Take your time when standing up, turning, or changing directions.
• Add brighter bulbs or nightlights in hallways, bathrooms, and stairs.
• Stay active with daily balance and strength exercises — even 10 minutes can help.
• Schedule regular vision and medication check-ups to catch any balance-affecting changes early.
Falls can impact independence, but with the right support and a little daily movement, they don’t have to. This month, let’s raise awareness and empower our loved ones to stay safe, strong, and steady — one step at a time. 💛
