Problems such as \u00a0a decline in hearing or eyesight, osteoporosis and strokes may cause weakness, lack of balance and reduced confidence in movement \u2013 which may bring about falls.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Medications \u2013 many medications affect a person\u2019s level of alertness, stability and blood pressure, and as a result, can cause falls.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The elderly person\u2019s physical surroundings \u2013 furniture, a wet shower floor, electric\/ telephone wires, rugs and steps, can all \u00a0become dangerous in old age. It is simple and advisable to make changes that make the home a safer place.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The street environment can also become dangerous \u2013 an uneven sidewalk or a street light that isn\u2019t working can lead to a fall.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">How to prevent falls?<a id=\"head_1\" name=\"head_1\"><\/a><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The most important piece of advice is to be aware and not ignore the issue, anticipate problems, and fix things before a fall happens. Encourage your parents to make the necessary changes in their home and lifestyle. If your parents have suffered repeated falls, report this to the doctor (<span lang=\"en\">Preferably geriatrician)\u00a0<\/span>and ask for his intervention.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">How to create a safer home?<a id=\"head_2\" name=\"head_2\"><\/a><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When parents reach old age, sometimes we must put aside aesthetics and even sentiments attached to furniture and interior design and focus on what is practical and safe.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Living room \u2013 move furniture to the sides, clear wires away from paths, remove carpets and make sure the lighting is sufficient and convenient.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bathroom \u2013 it is best for elderly people to bathe in the shower, since getting in and out of the bathtub can be dangerous and may cause falls. Change to liquid soap which does not slip out of the bather\u2019s hand, attach a safety mat to the shower floor, and install aids such as hand rails in the shower and toilet areas. \u00a0Remove keys from doors of all bathrooms.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kitchen \u2013 arrange all products used on a daily basis within comfortable reach. Place utensils conveniently, so that your parents won\u2019t need to get on a chair or stepladder to reach them. Attach a mat securely to the floor next to the sink, so the floor won\u2019t get wet.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stairs \u2013 make sure that staircases &#8211; both inside and outside the home &#8211; have safety handrails and proper lighting.
