Mobility and Fall Prevention

Vision impairment can increase the risk of tripping or losing balance. A simple fall in the bathroom, on the stairs, or almost anywhere could be life threatening. Fortunately, there are many simple steps you can take to prevent falls, increase your mobility, and make your home a safer environment. Simple ideas such as eliminating small throw rugs, only using bathmats with non-skid backing and being sure that you have adequate lighting throughout your home can go a long way to helping you prevent a fall. We’ve brought together a collection of Fall Prevention products to get you started.
