FALL PREVENTION
Most serious senior falls happen in the bathroom. Walk through these 23 checks to make yours safe, room by room.
A few low-cost changes prevent most falls. A-Team can review the home and provide the personal care that keeps your parent steady.
WHERE FALLS HAPPEN
Knowing where falls happen tells you where to focus.
Wet, slick surfaces and high tub walls are the most common fall spot.
Low seats and nothing sturdy to hold make this a frequent fall point.
Splashed water and absorbent rugs that slide turn the floor into a hazard.
Stretching for towels, soap, or items on the floor throws off balance.
