60% of All Falls Occur in the Home!
Here are some simple steps to reduce the risk of falls:
-
Remove loose rugs or secure them to the floor.
-
Use only non-skid rugs.
-
Ensure that the pathways in the home have proper lighting.
-
Place nightlights in the bedrooms and hallways.
-
Remove all clutter from the floor.
-
Tie up phone and electrical cords so that they stay out the way.
-
Inspect and repair unstable furniture.
-
Have a proper bed height so that it is easy to step into and out of the bed. If the bed is high, use a step stool.

Install non-skid strips or mats in all the bathtubs and showers.
