Fall Prevention Tips: Making Senior Living Safer

Falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults—but most falls can be prevented with the right care, awareness, and environment. At Psalm 23 Home Care, safety is more than a priority—it’s a promise.

Whether you're searching for assisted living near Clear Lake, TX, personal care homes near Houston, or a small, peaceful alternative to a nursing home, our mission is to create a home where your loved one can thrive with confidence.

🚨 Why Fall Prevention Matters

Each year, 1 in 4 seniors experiences a fall. For many, this can lead to serious injury or hospitalization. That’s why at Psalm 23, we take a proactive, daily approach to safety in every room, hallway, and outdoor space—because peace of mind should never be an afterthought.

✅ 7 Key Fall Prevention Tips We Practice Daily

1. Clutter-Free Living Spaces

We keep walkways wide, clear, and free of tripping hazards. No loose rugs. No cords across the floor. Every room is arranged with senior safety in mind—from the living room to the bathroom.

2. Proper Lighting

Falls often happen in the dark. We install nightlights, motion-sensor lighting, and ensure that all areas (especially bathrooms and hallways) are well-lit to reduce nighttime risks.

3. Supportive Footwear

Residents are encouraged to wear non-slip, comfortable shoes that provide stability and support. No socks or slippers that slide—just safe steps every time.

4. Daily Movement and Strength Building

Our residents participate in gentle stretching and light exercise routines that build leg strength and balance. Even 10 minutes of movement a day can significantly reduce fall risk.

5. Bathroom Safety Measures

Grab bars, raised toilet seats, and slip-resistant mats are standard in every bathroom. Our caregivers also provide compassionate assistance with bathing or dressing, reducing any strain on our residents.

6. Medication Monitoring

Some medications cause dizziness or drowsiness. Our team monitors these side effects and communicates regularly with families and doctors to ensure each resident's regimen is both effective and safe.

7. Personalized Care and Supervision

Psalm 23 is a small residential assisted living facility—which means we’re able to provide hands-on, attentive care. Every resident is known by name and supported according to their personal needs.
