Beyond the checklist

Home changes work best alongside a medication review, an eye exam, and exercise for strength and balance. Read fall prevention and home modifications.

Common questions

What causes most falls at home?

Common factors include poor lighting, clutter and loose rugs, slippery bathrooms, stairs without handrails, weak muscles and balance, vision problems, and medications that cause dizziness. The CDC's STEADI program covers fall-risk screening for clinicians and families.

Who can help pay for safety changes?

Area Agencies on Aging, some Medicaid waiver programs, USDA home repair programs in rural areas, and VA grants for eligible veterans may help. See home modifications.
