This week, we’re focusing on an important aspect of home safety: fall prevention. Falls are a common risk for older adults, but with some simple adjustments, we can create a safer environment.

🛋️ Prevent Falls with Simple Adjustments: Secure Your Rugs!

Rugs can be cozy, but they can also be a tripping hazard! Here’s how to keep them safe:

🛡️ Use Non-Slip Backing: Add non-slip pads under rugs to keep them in place.
✋ Check Edges: Ensure edges are flat to avoid trips.
📏 Opt for Low-Pile: Choose low-pile rugs for a safer home.
A little change can make a big difference! 🏡💪


🚶‍♂️ Clear Pathways for a Safer Home!

Keeping pathways clear is essential for preventing falls. Here are some tips:

🚫 Remove Clutter: Keep walkways free of shoes, bags, and boxes.
🛋️ Thoughtful Furniture Arrangement: Ensure easy movement around the room.
💡 Improve Lighting: Use nightlights or motion sensors for better visibility.
Let’s create a safe space for everyone! 🌟
