Elderly Fall Prevention Starts with Keeping a Detailed Record

According to A Place for Mom, “If you’re caring for a senior loved one at home, keep a detailed record of any incidents. Check for fall risks in their home, and discuss these potential contributing factors during any medical assessment after a fall.”

Common medical causes of increasing your or a loved one’s risk for falls include: 

1. Medication side effects
2. Blood pressure changes
3. Vision and hearing loss
4. Underlying medical conditions
5. Vitamin D deficiency
