Fall Prevention at Home Basics

Reduce trip and fall risks

Home fall prevention removes trip hazards, adds grab bars and non-slip mats, improves lighting, and checks footwear and vision to reduce risk, especially for older adults.

Clear Paths

Remove clutter, secure rugs, and route cords safely.

Add Support

Install grab bars, handrails, and non-slip mats in bathrooms.

Improve Visibility

Use night lights and bright bulbs; wear proper footwear.
