Talk to your doctor or a physical therapist about getting a fall risk assessment at home. Many health problems can make you more likely to fall, so it’s important to identify any hazards in your home. During the assessment, a healthcare professional will look for things that could cause you to trip or slip. They’ll also create a plan to help you improve your balance and learn ways to stay safe.
Using the right equipment, like tools to help you stand up or move around, can make daily activities easier and safer. You can also do a home safety check yourself, going through each room to make sure it’s safe. Making these changes can help you feel more confident and independent in your home.
