One in four older adults falls each year, but most falls are preventable. During Falls Prevention Awareness Month, here’s what our caregivers look for during a home safety walkthrough:
✅ Hallways and bathrooms have bright, working lights
✅ Loose rugs, cords, and clutter are removed
✅ Grab bars are secure and bathroom surfaces are non-slip
✅ Walkways are clear from room to room
✅ Frequently used items are within easy reach
✅ Footwear fits well and has good traction
✅ Medications that may affect balance are reviewed with a healthcare professional
✅ Vision checks are up to date
We also provide walking and transferring support to help loved ones move safely and confidently at home. Small changes can make a meaningful difference, and a thoughtful walkthrough can bring families peace of mind. 💙
