Safety aware : Always hold onto a stable structure. Install grab bars in the bathroom, railings at all stairs, use a walker for balance. See a physical therapist to,learn how to fall in a safer manner, and how to,get up after a fall. Wear a necklace that can call for help, should you fall. Be sure your shoes are tied properly. Move loose throw rugs to,avoid tripping. Use lights at night, to see hazards
