It's #FallsPreventionAwarenessWeek and here's a tip of the day from our Level 1 Trauma team at Chandler Regional Medical Center and the ncoaging:

It can feel lonely experiencing fear, especially the fear of falling. But, it doesn’t have to be. Start a conversation with your friends and family about how they can to help you stay safe, independent and #FallsFree. 

🍂 Start small with a one-on-one conversation. 
🍂 Ask for help and be specific.
🍂 Involve the family in your medical appointments, medication history and history of falling.
🍂 Keep the conversation going and update them if your needs change or grow.
🍂 Be assertive when asking to remove home hazards or making home modifications.
