Common Advice to Prevent Falls Has Been Proven to Be Ineffective
|
Q. I am 72 years old and my 95-year old mother, Annie, lives with me. There have been quite a few times this past year when my mother has fallen, and we had to call 9-1-1 for help. We have tried every bit of advice that we could find such as taking an exercise class,
getting her vision checked, ceasing the use of medications for sleep, and installing grab bars in the bathroom, but these things have been little to no help. Do you have any additional information about helping a loved one who is prone to falling?
