What can you do to help prevent falls and help your loved one stay safe and independent at home?
• Check the floors. Keep them clear of clutter and loose rugs.
• Check the lighting. Are there enough lamps in every room? Use night lights and bright lamps in dark areas.
• Add support: Install grab bars in bathrooms and use non-slip mats in tubs.
• Check on footwear. Help your loved one find sturdy, non-slip shoes and slippers for wearing indoors.
• Access to common items: Place everyday items within easy reach. Check cupboards and closets - is there anything that should come down a level?
