In this session, we focused on understanding the crucial aspects of fall risks and how to implement prevention strategies in our daily lives.

Home Safety Inspection: Conduct regular checks of your living environment to identify and mitigate potential fall hazards. Look for loose carpets, inadequate lighting, and unnecessary clutter that could pose risks.
Adapt and Modify: Make necessary modifications to your home to enhance safety. Install grab bars, use non-slip mats in slippery areas like the bathroom, and ensure that pathways are clear and well-lit.
Understand the Numbers: Recognize the serious impact falls can have on health and the importance of prevention. Continue to educate yourself on fall statistics to stay aware of the risks. Learn more: CDC-Older Adult Fall Prevention
