Unfortunately, fatal falls among those 65 and older have risen an alarming 112% since 1999. Read these tips that the National Safety Council recommended to reduce potential fall risks for yourself and loved ones.

10 Fall Prevention Tips

Tragically, falls among adults 65 and older caused over 36,000 deaths in 2020, making it the leading cause of injury death for that group. Read these tips from the National Safety Council to reduce potential fall risks for yourself and loved ones.

Take the first steps in fall prevention by:

1. Stay active and exercise to increase core strength and balance.
2. Review medications and be aware of those with side effects that can make you drowsy or lightheaded.
3. Get your vision checked, as poor vision can lead to falls.
4. Remove tripping hazards (papers, books, clothes, shoes) from stairs and places you or loved ones may walk.
5. Clean up all spills immediately and keep floor dry.
6. Keep frequently used items in cabinets you can reach easily without using a step stool.
7. Install grab bars next to your toilet and in your tub/shower and install handrails and lights on staircases.
8. Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors.
9. Improve lighting in your home, including using a nightlight or use automatic lighting triggers as part of your security system.
10. Wear shoes with good support and non-slip soles.

“For older adults, falls and the resulting injuries can diminish their ability to lead active, independent lives,” said Deborah Hersman, NSC president and CEO. “Identifying potential fall hazards and making changes to improve your strength, balance and vision can help reduce your risk of a fall at any age.”
