Fall Prevention and Management

Fall prevention and management involve strategies and practices aimed at reducing the risk of falls, especially among older adults or those with health conditions. It includes assessing risk factors, such as balance and medication side effects, improving home safety by removing obstacles, using assistive devices like canes, and encouraging strength and balance exercises. When a fall does occur, effective management includes prompt medical evaluation to address any injuries and implementing care plans to prevent future falls. By focusing on both prevention and response, we can enhance safety and promote independence in daily activities.
