How to keep seniors safe from slips and falls

Falls are the leading cause of injury among people 65 and older, and the risk of falls increases proportionately with age. As people get older, their bones get more fragile and a fall can lead to fractures which could take a long time to heal. Making sure that your senior is safe from the risk if falls is important.

Tips for senior fall prevention at home

1. Keep furniture to a minimum
Make sure that the space that your senior uses is not cluttered with furniture. Keep the layout simple so that they can move around easily. Try not to move the furniture around and if you do, ensure that the senior gets used to the new layout.

2. Keep the floors dry
Make sure that spills are wiped up immediately. Ensure that your elder is safely out of the way when the floor is being mopped or at the very least inform them when you are mopping to be careful.

It is equally important to keep the brain active as onegrows older as this will not only help the elderly think and feel young but will also help keep age related mental issues at bay.

Neurocognitive disorder or dementia is a steady decline in mental ability in the elderly that can be severe enough to interfere with daily life. It can give rise to age related mental disorders like memory loss and Alzheimer’s.

While my father was visiting me, he asked for the password to our Wi-Fi.
“It’s taped under the modem,” I told him.
After three failed attempts to log on, he asked,
“Am I spelling this right? T-A-P-E-D-U-N-D-E-R-T-H-E-M-O-D-E-M?”
