The majority of falls by older adults occur in the home. In this program, Andrea Trout from the American Red Cross will suggest tips and review three steps to minimize the risk of falling at home. Trout will discuss the importance of regular exercise to improve physical strength; the need to recognize hazards such as carpets, stairs and slippery floors; and how medications can contribute to falls. Questions will be welcome.
