    Elderly Fall Risk & Prevention

    Falls are among the leading causes of injury among older adults. Because of the great and severe risk of an elderly person falling, prevention is the key to maintaining health and wellness.

    Health and Wellness Tips for Preventing Falls

    • Talk to your doctor
    • Schedule regular hearing and vision tests
    • Watch for signs of dizziness, weakness, or lightheadedness
    • Ensure proper hydration
    • Exercise to improve overall strength and balance
    • If a cane or other support device is needed, ensure rubber tips are checked and replaced before they’re worn out
    • Wear low-heeled, non-skid shoes
    • Install grab handles and slip-resistant mats in the shower and bath
