In recognition of Falls Prevention Awareness Day Sept. 23, we added a free, downloadable fall-prevention brochure to our online library of family caregiver resources. Every year, one in three adults over age 65 falls, and up to 40 percent of nursing home admissions are due to either falls or fear of falling. As a company dedicated to helping seniors live safely in their homes, fall prevention is an ongoing initiative for us.
“It All Starts With a Fall — Your Guide to Help Prevent Falls” is full of facts, tips, and information that will help caregivers and seniors identify and minimize the risk factors that affect health and longevity. It helps readers identify and correct fall hazards in their homes and yards, teaches about personal safety tools that can make living at home a success, and offers instructions on what to do if they fall or witness a fall. Download a free copy of the brochure.
Other helpful ways to recognize Falls Prevention Awareness Day include distributing fall prevention brochures to neighbors; making sure senior loved ones have clean eyewear; encouraging the elderly to have vision, balance and gait, and blood pressure checks; and installing nightlights, nonskid mats and bathroom safety devices such as grab bars.

Thank you Lynn for this free download. It will be very helpful to me and I am sure to many others as well in giving proper care to elderly and preventing falls.
And more power to your caregiving. It is a very noble profession.
