Preventing Falls at Home

25 August 2010

Falls are the leading cause of home injury and can be especially harmful to seniors. Take time to ensure the seniors in your life are protected from falls, particularly when using stairs. Install handrails on both sides of stairways so both hands can be used for support and make sure the top and bottom of the stairs are well light. Also, keep stairways clear and do not store items on the steps or landings. Click here to learn more about the simple changes you can make to prevent falls.
