Fall Prevention for Seniors
With a third of all seniors experiencing a fall every year, injuries from falling are one of the most common reasons that people become unable to live independently. Visiting Angels Eastern Shore uses the Safe and Steady® Fall Prevention resource, which provides guidance and helps families assess their home spaces for fall risks so that they can make changes to prevent falls.
Older adults have more limited strength, coordination, mobility, eyesight, and hearing. Decreased abilities paired with medication, existing health issues, joint pain, and cognitive diseases like dementia, make it all the more likely a senior could make one misstep alone in their home and suffer dangerous consequences.
Serious injuries, hospitalization, loss of independence, permanent disability, or even mortality can occur from in-home falls. Common injuries, such as hip fractures, warrant long recovery periods and increase the risk of future complications.

Use the Safe and Steady® guide and home safety checklist to identify risk factors from environmental or home design, make safety modifications, and lifestyle changes.
