It’s important to avoid accidental falls wherever you can. For older adults, the majority of falls happen in or around the home. Just as the risk of falling increases with age, so does the likelihood of moderate to severe injury when you do take a spill.

 

Fortunately, LifeWise home modifications can significantly reduce your risks by eliminating obstacles and making it easier for you to move about and manage daily tasks. Remaining in your home (also known as aging in place) typically produces better health outcomes, provided the home setting is free of safety hazards.
