Preventing Falls

Bay Care offers essential advice on preventing falls, avoiding injuries, and potentially saving on care costs.

Falling is not an inevitable part of aging; risks can be reduced with the right strategies. As we age, particularly over 65, the likelihood of falls and serious injuries increases. In the UK, nearly a third of people over 65 fall each year, rising to half for those over 80.

While we can't eliminate all risks, we can reduce them by understanding the risks, maintaining our health with top fall prevention tips, keeping our homes safe using Bay Care's home safety checklist, and seeking appropriate care and support when needed.
