Did you know many falls happen at night when getting in or out of bed?
Let’s make the bedroom a safe and secure space with these simple fall prevention tips:

🛋️ Bedroom Safety Tips for Peace of Mind:
✅ Install night lights – Light the path from bed to bathroom.
✅ Keep a flashlight by the bed – Power outage? You’re ready.
✅ Declutter floors – Remove cords, shoes, or laundry piles.
✅ Place essentials within reach – Avoid stretching for phones, meds, or glasses.
✅ Use a sturdy bed frame – One that’s easy to get in and out of.
✅ Add grab bars or bed rails – For extra support when rising.

💡 Tip: Consider a non-slip rug with secure edges—style and safety can go hand in hand!

✅ Keep stairs well-lit – Install bright lights at the top and bottom.
✅ Remove tripping hazards – No clutter, loose rugs, or cords.
✅ Use handrails – Always hold on, going up AND down.
✅ Repair uneven steps – Damaged steps can cause sudden slips.
✅ Wear proper footwear – Non-slip soles are a must.
✅ Don’t rush – Take your time, especially when carrying things.

🏡 Pro Tip: Consider adding non-slip treads to your stairs for extra grip!

🍂 Fall Prevention Week – Day 2: Stay Safe in the Kitchen! 🍽️
The kitchen is one of the most common places for slips and falls — but a few simple changes can help keep you on your feet.
✅ Wipe up spills immediately – Water, oil, or food can make floors slippery.
✅ Keep pathways clear – Remove rugs or use non-slip mats, and don’t let clutter build up.
✅ Store items within easy reach – Avoid using stools or chairs to reach high shelves.
✅ Use good lighting – Make sure your kitchen is well-lit, especially near the stove and sink.
✅ Wear non-slip shoes – Comfortable, supportive footwear can help prevent slips.
💡 Small changes = big safety wins.

Falls can happen when we least expect them, but with a little attention, many of them can be prevented. This week, we're raising awareness about fall prevention—especially in the home.

At BrightStar Care of Western Connecticut, we're dedicated to helping you make your home safer by offering practical solutions and tips to reduce the risk of falls. Whether it's removing tripping hazards, improving lighting, or installing grab bars, we’re here to help you stay safe and confident at home.

Tip #1: Prevent falls in the entryway!
The entryway or foyer is a common place for falls, especially when it's cluttered with shoes, bags, or coats. Keep this area clear and well-lit. Consider adding non-slip mats and installing hooks or racks for a more organized space.

Let’s make fall prevention a priority—today and every day!
