How to Help a Loved One Who is Falling

Step 1: Assess the Environment

Start by looking around your loved one’s home to reduce fall risks. This includes lighting, clutter, rugs, and furniture placement.

Ensure all walking paths are clear of clutter.

Add night-lights in bedrooms and hallways.

Remove loose rugs or secure them with anti-slip backing.

Ensure grab bars are installed in bathrooms if needed.
