Most falls don’t happen outside, they happen at home, during everyday moments.
A quick walk to the bathroom. Reaching for a glass. Stepping over a rug.
Here are 6 simple fixes that actually reduce fall risk:
* Improve lighting in hallways & bathrooms
* Secure or remove loose rugs
* Install grab bars where needed
* Wear supportive, non-slip shoes indoors
* Stay hydrated to avoid dizziness
* Never rush, supervision matters more than people think
Falls are preventable when care is proactive, not reactive.
