Tips for Avoiding Falls

• USE NIGHTLIGHTS: make sure you have adequate lighting and there are no dark areas along the floor.
• AVOID CLUTTER: make sure there are clear walking paths throughout your house.
• LEVEL WALKING SURFACES: remove throw rugs, make sure all carpet edged are tacked down and do not layer carpets. Keep sidewalks, driveways and walkways repaired so they are smooth and even.
• EQUIP YOUR BATHROOM: use rubber mats in the bathtub and shower. Install grab bars in the bathtub or shower and by the toilet or install a raised toilet seat.
• AVOID STEPSTOOLS and LADDERS: ask someone else to perform climbing chores.
• GET the RIGHT FOOTWEAR: wear shoes with non-skid soles.
