One in three over-65s falls at least once a year, sometimes with serious consequences. Staying active can prevent a fall.
A fall can have serious consequences, but many fall incidents are preventable. Staying alert when carrying out daily tasks and recognizing risks can significantly reduce the risk of falling.
The images below show examples of correct and incorrect situations. These will help to recognize risky behaviors and make safer choices.
Tip 1: Safe shoes
Wear flat, closed shoes with a rubber sole.
Put on slippers that fit snugly and offer good support.
Tip 2: Safety in the bathroom
Use a rubber anti-slip mat and a securely mounted hand grip for getting in and out of the bath or shower. A small seat in the bath or shower and a handheld showerhead are recommended.
