  • Provide a safe and supportive environment. This includes making sure that the home is free of tripping hazards, such as clutter, loose rugs, and uneven surfaces. You may also want to install grab bars in the bathroom and shower, and a stair lift if necessary.
  • Encourage regular exercise. Exercise can help to improve balance and coordination, which can reduce the risk of falls. You may want to help your loved one find an exercise program that is appropriate for their fitness level.
  • Monitor medications. Some medications can cause dizziness or drowsiness, which can increase the risk of falls. Be sure to talk to your loved one's doctor about any medications they are taking, and how they may affect their risk of falling.
  • Be aware of your loved one's mental health. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions can also increase the risk of falls. Be sure to talk to your loved one about their mental health, and seek professional help if necessary.
  • Be patient and understanding. Falls can be very upsetting for loved ones, both physically and emotionally. Be patient and understanding as your loved one recovers from a fall.

James, I recommend “rucking “. This means putting up to 25% of your weight in a ruck sack while walking. Even down your street! I have just received results from a Dexa bone density evaluation. No change in nine years. Similarly, my eye evaluation has not changed in six years. Yep, I do all of The NY Times puzzles daily. I get them done, on balance, faster each day. My guess I could almost be as old as your Mom. Oh! I have been investing in TSLA, MSTR, NVDA and in and out AAPL, GOOG, META and AMZN for years. (All in tax-free accounts.)My guess I will have to live until 100 to out spend my investments. Obviously, the take-home message is to plan ahead and daily “use it” or lose it. Of course, having a good attitude with lots of social interaction is part of having a happy, healthy life. Ergo Happy Boo

Yes, I learned this the hard way after my old father made a nasty fall at my parent's house...

Not so fun fact: Did you know 50% of elderly who suffers a proximal (neck) femur fracture even if fixed, dies within 1 year of event?

Can this become the solution of AI? My 94 year old mom would wake up, stand up, and fall over. I had heard that the newer amazon echo devices next to your bed could monitor your sleep. Could these be combined to tell a recently awaken elder to just sit and chill before standing. Have them respond to questions when they moved to stand?

James, can you do one for my small dog. He is a Jack Russell and has been my trading companion for 15 years. :))

How very true and very sad, my dear mother in law, whom I was very close to fell on a gravel drive two years ago breaking her right femur & pelvis. Just a trip on a small stone! She survived the surgery but died less than 2 weeks later from complications related to the operation. She was 94 and raised four beautiful daughters during the civil war in Beirut, a strong & beautiful woman. RIP Mum, you will always be my hero! Batchig Hokis

Another one to add, despite limitations of the elderly, beginners yoga poses and very simple balancing exercises can go a long way for the individual to prevent falls. If one has improved balance, one will not fall nearly as much if at all. Engineer out the problem.
