Falls are a leading cause of injury among seniors. Creating a safe home environment is key to preventing accidents and supporting independence.
Identify high-risk zones such as bathrooms, stairs, and kitchens.
Keep walkways clear of cords, rugs, and loose items.
Place in bathrooms and along staircases for support.
Use bright, non-glare lighting and nightlights in hallways.
Place in shower, bathtub, and kitchen areas.
Supportive, non-slip shoes reduce fall risk.
Keep a phone within reach and consider personal emergency response systems.
Implementing these safety measures at home empowers seniors to live confidently while minimizing fall risk.
