Reducing the Risk of Falling for Older People
Falls are a big problem for older people. They can cause injuries, including broken bones and hip fractures. Often, they happen during daily activities. Luckily, there are many ways to reduce the risk.

The first step is to get a doctor's attention. Your doctor will be able to assess your medical condition and suggest ways to reduce your risk of falling. He or she may also recommend physical therapy or an exercise program.

Another option is to wear an elderly SOS alarm around the wrist or neck. This will help signal emergency services if you fall.

Other precautions to take include wearing sturdy footwear, changing your position every 30 minutes, and carrying a mobile phone in your pocket. It's also a good idea to be alert for small changes in sight or sounds.

Another way to reduce your risk of falling is to avoid alcohol. It's no secret that drinking too much can be dangerous, and it can increase the chances of falling.

Some medicines can have side effects that can increase your risk of falling. Before taking a new medicine, be sure to talk to your health care provider about the side effects.

Older people may have chronic health problems, and these can contribute to a fall. Ask your doctor if you have chronic blood pressure issues, diabetes, or other medical conditions that could make you more susceptible to falling.

Personal Safety Alarms Physical activity can reduce your risk of falling. Gentle exercise can improve your balance and coordination, and you should try to find a physical therapist who can guide you through an exercise program.
