Six out of every 10 falls happen at home, where we spend much of our time and tend to move around without thinking about our safety. Many falls could be prevented by making simple changes in your living areas, as well as personal and lifestyle changes.

remove or avoid safety hazards
improve lighting
install handrails and grab bars
move items to make them easier to reach.
