When was the last time you talked with your loved one about falls?
It may not be an easy conversation to start, but talking about fall prevention can help identify concerns before a fall happens.
Ask your loved one:
• Have you felt unsteady when walking?
• Have you had trouble getting out of a chair?
• Are you holding onto furniture or walls when you walk?
• Have you noticed changes in your vision or balance?
If you notice changes, encourage your loved one to talk with their health care provider.
Starting the conversation is a simple step toward prevention.
