Previous posts have given you tips on steps to take
to prevent falls and also fall-proofing your home to prevent falls. These are
just some of the tools available to you to help prevent loved ones from
falling and potentially seriously injuring themselves.
Statewide there are
events happening for Falls Prevention Awareness Month. Since Falls Prevention Awareness day
fell on a Sunday this year (Sunday, September 22, 2013), there are events happening this week as
well. Take steps now to prevent falls and to be aware of how falls can impact your life!
