Did you know falls are the #1 cause of injury for older adults—but they are 100% PREVENTABLE?
This National Fall Prevention Awareness Month, don’t let a bad slip ruin your groove. Here is your quick 4-step checklist to stay standing tall:
1. UPGRADE YOUR FOOTWEAR: Ditch the slick socks. Wear non-skid soles inside and outside.
2. BUST THE HOME HAZARDS: Tape down loose rugs, clear hallway clutter, and light up dark stairs.
3. LOCK IN YOUR BALANCE: Strengthen your core with local mobility and balance classes!
4. DO A QUICK BODY CHECK: Review medications with your doctor and get your eyes checked yearly.
We’re here to keep you strong, active, and independent! Need home safety assessments, mobility resources, or local classes? Young at Heart Resources has your back.
