Spring cleaning idea: choose one walkway (hallway, beside the bed, or to the bathroom) and make it completely clutter-free—no cords, shoes, or small tables. Fewer obstacles = fewer falls.

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month—an important topic for older adults, because falls are a leading cause of traumatic brain injury in seniors.

If your loved one does hit their head—even from a “small” fall—watch for confusion, headache, dizziness, or behavior changes, and call their provider or emergency services right away. Planning ahead and having in-home support can help reduce fall risks so seniors can stay safer where they’re most comfortable: at home.

Cooler temps can trick seniors into drinking less. Try keeping a favorite mug or water bottle nearby and encourage small sips all day instead of big gulps at once.
