- If you live alone consider wearing a Lifeline or similar device that will bring help in case you fall and can’t get up on your own.
- Keep family/friends informed of falls. Frequent falling can be a sign of medication problems, decline in health and neurological issues. Your physician also needs to be made aware if you have fallen since your last visit, even if you think it was no big deal.
