    About this ebook

    Have you fallen in the past or know someone who has? Do you have aging parents, or are you concerned about falling yourself? If the answer is yes, then this fall-prevention handbook is for you.

    Roxanne Reynolds has spent the past ten years working with seniors and those with movement disorders. Because of her love for seniors and the fact that her own grandmother fell and broke both of her hips, she knew she had to try and do something to help prevent catastrophic falls so prevalent today.

    In A Seniors Guide to Fall Prevention and Healthy Living, Roxanne outlines causes, diseases affiliated with falls, home safety, foot health, diet, nutrition, and activities that promote balanced movement.

      Seat Belts – Other People Maybe, Not Him

      By Dan Verver

      Watching my parents grow older, (we live in the same city), is like watching the sun set in slow motion. One of the things I would hear about when I would visit was my dad’s difficulty not so much in falling asleep as in staying asleep. So his sleep was getting spread around, some at night, and some during the day. He also had problems with hearing and walking. I don’t know if it was a matter of pride or refusing to acknowledge the fact that he was getting older, but he hated using a cane and disliked using his walker even more. He would use them if he went out, probably because we would tell him, If you don’t take it with you, you’re not going. But at home, he wouldn’t touch them. His walking had deteriorated from the point of one foot in front of the other to one heel in front of the other. We would tell him he could lose his balance and fall and he would say that wasn’t going to happen. My brother would ask him how he knew that. My brother would ask him to name one person that fell who knew it was going to happen before it did. Seat belts. Why do we wear seat belts when we drive somewhere? Because we are going to get in an accident or because the possibility exists so we take the necessary precaution and buckle up. Did dad see the correlation? Not really. He refused to acknowledge the possibility that he could fall, other people maybe but not
