Healthy Tips
Make everyday movement safer.
Safe movement supports independence. A calm environment, appropriate assistance and good communication can reduce avoidable risks at home.
Practical ways to reduce fall risks
- Keep walkways, stairs and frequently used areas clear of clutter, loose mats and trailing cables.
- Improve lighting near beds, bathrooms, steps and entrances, especially at night.
- Encourage suitable footwear and use walking aids only as recommended and fitted appropriately.
- Move slowly when standing up and allow time to regain balance before walking.
- Keep frequently used items within safe reach instead of using chairs or unstable stools.
- Ask a qualified professional about safe transfers, exercises or home modifications.
After a fall
Do not rush to lift someone who may be injured. Check for serious pain, bleeding, confusion or difficulty breathing and seek urgent medical help when needed.
