several ways. There are definitely better types of flooring that are far more forgiving such as thick carpets versus a cement basement or something. A good medication review and ensure they are not taking meds they don't need or getting on meds they need timely such as antibiotics. Regular engagement from health care workers, I work as a home care aide and visit seniors daily and we ask them each day if they had any falls. Increased falls can indicate other health issues and the possibility to treat them. On that same line we can teach them better ways to do things and support them in tasks they may struggle with. Regular exercise helps as it encourages muscle building and that works hand in hand with balance and muscle control. But at the end of the day people are going to fall and that is okay. We have to let people live life and sometimes that means they are living at risk. There has been invented an airbag system for fall risk patients. It is worn as a vest and if you fall it deploys an air bag system that protects your hips, head and neck. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/azTnlWGSy5U https://www.youtube.com/shorts/azTnlWGSy5U
