More than 14 million older adults, or 1 in 4 Americans aged 65 and older, fall each year according to the CDC. And falling once doubles the chance of falling again. What most families do not realize is that the majority of those falls happen at home, not on icy sidewalks or unfamiliar terrain, but in the familiar rooms a person has navigated for years. A loose rug at the end of the hallway. A bathroom without grab bars. A path to the kitchen that is just slightly too dark at 2am. These are not dramatic risks. They are ordinary details that become dangerous as balance, vision, and reaction time quietly change with age. The good news is that most of them are fixable, and many fixes cost nothing at all.
