Many slip & fall accidents could have been prevented. Something as simple as removing a rug on the floor, picking up an object lying on the stairs or replacing a burnt out light bulb in a walkway could save a senior from serious injury. Pay close attention to stairways and bathrooms, which are especially dangerous areas. Other things to look for are spills and other wet areas on the floor such as at the front door where outside weather may be dragged in on shoes. The kitchen and, again, bathroom floors are highly susceptible to spills and slick surfaces. Make sure all liquids are carefully cleaned off the floor.
