Preventing older adult falls in Wisconsin

02/23/2026

It’s okay to ask for help! Building resiliency against falling isn’t something you have to do alone. Asking for help—whether from family, friends, or a caregiver—is a sign of strength, not weakness.
✅ Need help clearing clutter or installing grab bars?
✅ Want someone to change a lightbulb or add non-slip mats?
✅ Looking for guidance on exercises to stay steady?

Reach out. Accepting support can help keep us safe and independent at home.

Caregivers—don’t forget about YOU! Preventing falls means you can keep caring for others with strength and confidence. Find tips here: https://fallsfreewi.org/prevent-falls/caregivers/.

Most people want to stay in their home for as long as possible. This is called “aging in place.” Get resources to help you or a loved one age at home.

Clutter can be more than just messy — it can increase the risk of falls and make it harder to stay safe at home.

If you or someone you care about struggles with hoarding or excess clutter, you’re not alone. Small, respectful steps can make a big difference. Clearing walkways, improving lighting, and creating safe paths through the home can help reduce fall risks while honoring comfort and independence.

Home safety starts with understanding, patience, and support. Learn how addressing clutter can protect mobility, confidence, and well-being — and help everyone age safely at home: https://fallsfreewi.org/stronger-together-building-falls-resiliency-at-home/.

Falls are preventable, and home safety plays a big role. If you’re supporting an aging parent, partner, or friend, or worried about your own risk of falling, small changes at home can make a big difference in helping us stay safe, confident, and independent.

Not sure where to start? Whether you’re a caregiver or older adult, find tips for having conversations about falls here: https://fallsfreewi.org/prevent-falls/conversations/. Approach the conversation with kindness, honesty, and care so everyone feels heard.

When was your last medication check? A quick, yearly review with your doctor or pharmacist helps make sure your prescriptions, over-the-counter meds, and supplements are still right for you.

Even small changes, if needed, can reduce dizziness, confusion, and falls – helping you stay confident and independent!
