There are a number of steps that can be taken to help reduce the risk of a fall.

As well as reducing risks at home such as reducing cluttered areas and getting rid of unnecessary rugs, there are many things you can do to help prevent a fall.

✅ Check your foot health and make sure you wear sensible shoes and slippers with a good grip
✅ Get your blood pressure checked. Sudden changes in blood pressure particularly when standing from a seated position, (postural blood pressure) can cause light headedness, changes in balance and potential collapse or fall
✅ Stay active and avoid long days of sitting and not moving much. If you do struggle to get out and about, try contacting your Local Area Coordinator
✅ Check your vision and hearing. Poor or deteriorating vision can increase falls risk and hearing loss could affect balance depending on the cause
✅ Have you been on the same medication for a long time or are on four or more medications daily? It may be worth having a medication review to discuss this. Some medications can increase your risk of falling by making you feel dizzy or faint
✅ If you are worried about falling, make sure you speak to someone. A fear of falling can be very common and can result in a reduction in everyday activities, which can increase the risk of a fall
✅ If you have already fallen, tell someone even if you didn’t injure yourself. If you have fallen once, you are more likely to fall again if you make no changes

Age Cymru has an advice line you can contact on 03003034498 where someone can talk to you and help to offer support.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Breast screening looks for breast cancer before symptoms show. Finding breast cancer early gives you the best chance of successful treatment and survival.

It involves taking x-rays of the breast, which are called mammograms. Tests are offered every three years, to women aged from 50 up to their 70th birthday, and who are registered with a doctor.

Please attend when called for your screening appointment.
