Fall Prevention for Seniors
Did you know that falls can be avoided?
Here are eight vital fall prevention suggestions to keep our elderly safe:
Medication Reminder
Regularly remind medications to a senior to take their medicine every day.
Get your vision and hearing checked
In order to be proactive about your overall well-being, be sure to include annual hearing tests as a part of your preventative health regimen.
Wear well-wearing shoes
Wear footwear that has a lot of contact with the ground, such as shoes with a flat or low wide heel. The sole of your footwear should have a good grip. Wear shoes with a non-slip sole in your home rather than socks or slippers.
Exercise Regularly
Encourage your loved ones to stay active and engaged with exercises tailored to their needs. Physical activity not only boosts strength but also enhances balance and coordination!
Improve Lighting
Let’s lighten up our living areas so that better lightning can dramatically lower the danger of falls, especially on those cozy evenings. Install handrails and grab bars. Adding these simple, yet life-saving, features around the house can provide extra support and confidence for daily activities. Safety at every step.

Remove clutter and cords
When mopping tile floors, always clean and dry your mop head between uses. A damp and dirty mop is a breeding ground for bacteria and mold and is also likely to leave a stale smell wherever you use it.
Use non-slip mats
Use non-slip mats- or self-stick mats on the shower or tub floor.
