For safety purpose, check whether rooms and hallways have no obstacles for safer movements. Busy areas should be cleared of things such as newspapers, electrical goods, boxes, phone cords, furniture and plants. All the household items such as bed covers and clothing material should be stored at a place where one can reach comfortably. 

Two ways to prevent falls at home are : Bathroom Safety : 

• While moving in bathroom area, in and out of the tub or shower, be sure to be safe by drying the area. 

• Don’t forget to remove the build up of soap in tub or shower. 

• It is necessary to place non-slip strips/treads in the bathing area. 

• Adjustable shower heads should be installed. 

Kitchen Safety : 

• Items such as dishes, food items and others which are used frequently should be kept in easy-to-reach locations. 

• While using a step stool, make sure it has a bar at the top to hold on to.
