Falls are one of the most common — and most dangerous — risks seniors face. Every year, millions of older adults experience a fall, and many never fully recover. But with the right steps, families can reduce risks and help loved ones stay safe at home.

Why Falls Matter

• Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospital visits among seniors.
• Even a minor fall can cause long-term loss of mobility or independence.
• Fear of falling often leads seniors to reduce activity — which weakens strength and balance further.

Fall Prevention Tips for Families

• Remove hazards: Keep floors clear, add grab bars, and improve lighting.
• Encourage movement: Gentle exercise, like chair yoga or stretching, strengthens balance.
• Check footwear: Supportive shoes can reduce slips.
• Review medications: Some drugs increase dizziness and fall risk.
