Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults, especially those living with dementia, but many falls can be prevented.

Take a few minutes this week to check for:
🚧 Trip hazards
💡 Proper lighting
🧹 Cluttered spaces

Discuss fall risks with loved ones. Helping seniors stay safe at home is one of the many ways we support independence and confidence every day.
