Fall Prevention

Fall prevention for patients involves assessing individual risks, maintaining a safe environment by removing hazards and ensuring proper lighting, and using assistive devices like walkers or handrails as needed. Regular exercise to improve strength and balance, reviewing medications to prevent dizziness, wearing supportive footwear, and staying updated on vision and hearing checks are also essential strategies. Educating patients about fall risks and safety measures empowers them to take proactive steps, and promote safe, independent living.
