Falls are one of the most common risks for seniors living at home, but simple steps can greatly reduce the chance of injury. Keep floors clutter-free and ensure good lighting in hallways and stairways. Install grab bars in bathrooms and use non-slip mats in the shower or tub. Wearing supportive, non-slip shoes indoors and out can also improve stability. Regular exercise, such as walking or gentle balance routines, helps strengthen muscles and coordination. Seniors should also schedule routine vision and hearing check-ups, as sensory changes increase fall risk. Small adjustments can make the home safer and more comfortable.
