A fall is not always a simple accident. It can reveal changes in balance, vision, medication, strength, blood pressure, cognition or the home environment.
Seven warning situations
- Falls are happening repeatedly.
- The person cannot get up without help.
- They feel dizzy, weak or confused.
- They forget to use a walking aid.
- Bathroom or night-time falls are common.
- The caregiver cannot supervise transfers safely.
- Fear of falling has stopped normal movement and activity.
What families should do
Seek medical review after a significant or unexplained fall, especially with head impact, pain, bleeding, weakness or confusion. Review medicines, vision, footwear, walking aids and environmental hazards with appropriate professionals.
How continuous support can help
Regular observation, assisted transfers, safer routines, suitable exercise and timely response can lower day-to-day risk. No care setting can promise that falls will never happen, but good systems can reduce preventable hazards.
