Frailty can be a daunting issue when caring for an older loved one, especially when falls become a concern.
Falls are one of the biggest risks linked to frailty and can lead to serious injury, loss of confidence, and reduced independence.
The good news is that many falls can be prevented with simple steps at home:
- Keep active to improve strength and balance
- Keep the home safe by removing trip hazards and improving lighting
- Keep well by staying on top of health checks and reviewing medications
- Keep nourished with a balanced diet and plenty of fluids
