November is Fall Prevention Month in Canada, highlighting the serious impact of falls on older adults. Falls can cause chronic pain, injury, reduced quality of life, and loss of independence. They are the leading cause of injury-related hospital visits and deaths in seniors, costing Canada $5.6 billion annually. To prevent falls: exercise regularly, get your sight and hearing checked, manage medications, wear proper shoes, and remove hazards at home. Use mobility aids if needed and ensure good lighting. Taking precautions is key to maintaining health and independence as we age.
