Today is Falls Prevention Awareness Day. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related emergency visits and a major cause of disability and death for older adults. Small changes at home and in daily routines can dramatically reduce risk. Share this post to help protect a neighbor, friend or family member.

𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀
- 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽 𝗵𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀: secure loose rugs, coil or tape long cords, clear walkways.
- 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: add night lights in hallways, stairs and bathrooms; use brighter bulbs.
- 𝗔𝗱𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗯 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗽 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘀: install grab bars by toilets and in showers; use non-slip bath mats.
- 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿: choose sturdy, well-fitting shoes with non-slip soles — avoid slippers with poor grip.
- 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝘀: ask a pharmacist or provider about side effects (dizziness, low blood pressure) that increase fall risk.
- 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴: balance and strength exercises (sit-to-stand, heel raises, Tai Chi) reduce falls.
- 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲: schedule annual eye exams and update glasses as needed.
- 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆: walkers and canes should be fitted and used properly.
- 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻: consider a medical alert device or a phone within reach; set up quick-check calls with family or neighbors.

If you care for an older adult, start with a brief home-safety walk-through and a medication review this week. Small actions save lives.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀
- Talk with your primary care provider or pharmacist about fall risk.
- Ask about local balance classes or community programs for older adults.

Share to raise awareness — one post could prevent a fall.
