Falling: The only issue here is the risk of a fall with hip fracture. If she is steady on her feet, she should be allowed to walk. If a walker, quad cane, or cane would be helpful, it should be considered. Sturdy furniture nearby may help. Avoid loose carpeting. If she is unsteady and not aware enough to know it, she will need constant watching.
