MAY is a big month for us. Falls at any time are likely to happen so keep these tips in mind.
Take these steps to help prevent accidental falls:
- Talk to your health care provider about any past falls, even if they did not lead to an injury.
- Review your medications and any side effects. Consider Vitamin D supplements.
- Have your vision and hearing checked annually and update eyeglasses and hearing aids as needed.
- Get moving! Try Tai Chi and other activities proven to improve balance and strength.
- Assess your home environment. You can reduce your fall risk by removing trip hazards, improving lighting, installing handrails and grab bars, and taking extra care aroundpets that may be underfoot.
