Why Falls Happen And What You

Can Do About It

While falls can happen all year round, this is a time of the year
when seniors can be even more susceptible to an accident.
At BrightStar Care, we take a unique approach to decreasing fall
risk by pairing our unmatched clinical expertise with key patient
education resources to help and empower families.

One such resource is the Speak Up: Reduce Your Risk of

Falling published by the Joint Commission that highlights the
major reasons why people fall and very tactical steps you can take
to help reduce the likelihood of a fall occurring, including:

1. Ways to take care of your health

2. Extra precautions you can take
3. Small changes you can make to your home
4. And MORE

If you or a loved one has fallen before or at risk of falling, be sure

to check out this helpful resource and many others in our
Focus on Falls Resource Center.
You may also contact our local team for more information about
our Focus on Falls in-home support program.
