  • Your Checklist for Fall Prevention and Home Safety

    September 5, 2018

    Falls are a serious health problem for people over the age of 65, with one in four seniors falling each year. Falls can seem like a natural side effect of the impaired vision, lessened strength and poor balance that can come with age, but they should not be considered a normal consequence of aging.

    Falls can also be a sign of more pressing health issues, and they should be taken very seriously. Every 20 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall in the United States, and many more are injured. The good news is that there are changes you can make to reduce your risk of falling and maintain your independence at home. First, you need to assess your own condition.
