Falls are the leading cause of injury among seniors. Discover 5 proven fall prevention tips for seniors in Irving and how ComForCare Home Care Irving helps keep loved ones safe at home.

1. Make the Home Safer 🏡

Simple changes around the home can greatly reduce fall risks:

• Remove loose rugs and clutter. Install grab bars in bathrooms and near stairs.
• Ensure all rooms and hallways are well-lit.
• Use non-slip mats in the kitchen and bathroom.
• Our caregivers can also provide home safety checks to identify hidden risks and suggest improvements.

2. Stay Active with Gentle Exercise 💪

Regular movement helps improve balance, strength, and flexibility. Seniors can benefit from:

• Walking daily (indoors or outdoors with support if needed).
• Chair yoga or light stretching.
• Balance exercises like “sit-to-stand” practice.
• ComForCare caregivers can encourage safe, daily activity tailored to each individual’s ability.

3. Use Mobility Aids When Needed 🚶‍♀️

Canes, walkers, and other mobility aids can provide stability. It’s important that they are properly fitted and used correctly. Our caregivers can remind seniors to use them consistently and safely during daily routines.

4. Medication Management 💊

Some prescriptions may cause dizziness or drowsiness, which increase fall risk. We provide medication reminders and support so seniors stay on track without missing or doubling doses.

5. Professional Support and Care 🤝
