Here are some things you can do to make your home safer and reduce the risk of falling: Remove tripping hazards like clutter and small throw rugs. • Keep items you use the most easily accessible. • Improve lighting to ensure you can see your path when walking, especially at night. • Install grab bars in the bathroom and ensure your home has handrails on all staircases. • Wear non-slip shoes both inside and outside of the house. • Get a Home Safety Assessment if you are at risk of falling. An Occupational Therapist can help to advise you on making your home safer.
