A few ways to help prevent falls include:

  • Encouraging seniors to lead a healthy and active lifestyle, which will result in building strength, flexibility, and balance.
  • Removing hazards in the home and installing various aids in the home, such as railings and grab bars to prevent falls in the bathroom.
  • Understanding medication side effects and how they may affect your balance.
  • Annual eye screenings once a year and update-to-date eyeglass prescriptions.
