Reducing Fall Risks for Older Adults
Keeping older adults safe and independent is a top priority! Falls are a leading cause of injury among this population, but many falls can be prevented with simple steps.
At Care Choice Care Management, we're dedicated to helping you or your loved ones reduce the risk of falls and maintain a higher quality of life. Our care managers can help assess home environments 🏡, review medications 💊, and connect you with resources for balance and strength exercises 💪.
Here are a few quick tips to get started:
Clear the Clutter: Remove tripping hazards like rugs, cords, and unnecessary items from walkways. 🔌
Light It Up: Ensure all areas of the home are well-lit, especially stairs and hallways. Consider nightlights. 💡
Wear Sensible Shoes: Opt for sturdy, non-slip footwear, even indoors. 👟
Talk to a Professional: Discuss fall prevention with a doctor or a physical therapist. 🩺
