How to prevent falls for elderly parents?

To help prevent falls in elderly parents, you can:

  • Remove tripping hazards: Clear walkways of clutter, electrical cords, and loose rugs.
  • Install grab bars: Add grab bars in bathrooms near the shower/tub and toilet, and next to stairs.
  • Ensure proper footwear: Choose shoes with good tread and proper support.
