Most falls don’t come from risky behavior. They happen during ordinary moments. Walking across a room. Turning too fast. Carrying something simple.
What really matters is how forgiving a home is when someone makes a small mistake. Research keeps pointing to the same quiet truth: improving everyday layout and reducing common hazards can significantly lower fall risk, without changing how someone lives.
Good fall care isn’t about wrapping people in bubble wrap.
It’s about giving their body enough space and support to recover from a misstep, so independence stays normal, not fragile.
