Fall Prevention Awareness Day on the First Day of Autumn
The National Council on Aging has prepared an infographic of 6 steps to prevent a fall. For adults over 65, it’s especially important to guard against falls. Preventing falls is a big component of senior care.
1. Exercise will help with your balance and strength
2. Speak with your health professionals to determine if you’re prone to falls
3. Review your medications with your pharmacist or doctor periodically to make sure your drugs aren’t causing you to fall
4. Get hearing and vision checkups regularly
5. Take precautions in the home
6. Ask your family to help you stay safe against falls
Have a wonderful autumn, everyone!
