Description

As we age staying safe in our daily activities becomes more important than it was when we were younger. Our bones become brittle, our skin thins, our sense of balance changes, and our strength lessens. All these things make seniors more susceptible to serious injury. Learn how to stay safe at home including what to do if you fall, safe use of common household climbing devices like stools and ladders, common causes of household fires, when to call the fire department, and evacuation plans.
