What topics does the Fall Prevention Guide cover?

What are the most common causes of falls at home — and how can they be prevented?

Many falls happen due to a combination of factors, including poor lighting, loose rugs, cluttered walkways, slippery bathroom surfaces, and difficulty navigating stairs. Simple updates — like adding grab bars, improving lighting, securing rugs, installing handrails, or exploring mobility solutions — can significantly reduce risk. A proactive home safety plan not only helps prevent injuries but also supports confidence, independence, and peace of mind for the whole family.
