🚫👟 Trip & Fall Risks: What to Watch For 👟🚫

Did you know that the most common falls among seniors happen right at home? Here’s how to tackle the biggest culprits:

– Loose rugs & mats: Replace decorative rugs with non-slip options or secure edges with tape.
– Slippery showers: Install a shower chair and use a non-slip bath mat.
– Clutter & décor: Keep coffee tables, vases, and other items off pathways.
– Pets underfoot: Tidy up toys and be mindful of pets that might dart between feet.

A few small changes can greatly reduce fall risks and help your loved ones stay safe. 💪🏡

💡🚶‍♀️ Light the Way to Safety! 🚶‍♂️💡

Worried about nighttime slips and falls? Try these two cost-effective solutions:

🔦 Stick-on motion sensor lights – Pop them under cabinets, on stairs, or in hallways. They power on when someone approaches, improving visibility instantly.
🌟 Glow-in-the-dark tape – Outline door frames, bathroom paths, or step edges to help seniors (especially those with dementia) find their way even in low light.

Small tweaks, big peace of mind. Keep your loved ones safe—day and night!
