Falls and Older Adults
Fall Proofing Your Home
-
During the winter, ask someone to spread sand or salt on
icy surfaces. Be sure to wear boots with good traction if
you must go out when it snows. Better yet, don't take chances
walking on icy or slippery surfaces.
-
Poor lighting -- inside and outdoors -- can increase your
risk of falls. Make sure you have enough lighting in each
room, at entrances, and on outdoor walkways. Use light bulbs that
have the highest wattage recommended for the fixture.
