⚠️**Stay Safe: Prevent Slips, Trips, and Falls!**⚠️

Falls can happen to anyone, but they are especially dangerous for older adults. Here are some important tips to help prevent accidents:

🔍Clear Walkways: Keep floors free of clutter and obstacles to reduce trip hazards.
🧹Use Non-Slip Mats: Place mats in bathrooms and kitchens to prevent slipping on wet surfaces.
💡Ensure Good Lighting: Make sure all areas of your home are well-lit to spot potential hazards.
👟Wear Appropriate Footwear: Choose shoes with non-slip soles for better grip and support.
🏡Install Handrails: Use handrails on stairs and in bathrooms to provide extra support.

Let’s work together to keep everyone safe! 💪❤️
