EPISODE 69 The Fall Before The Fall

from The Aging Parent Playbook · host Barbara Sparacino MD

In this episode, I take you room by room through one of the most common and preventable crises families face with aging parents: falls. We’ll look beyond the obvious trip hazards and explore the five systems that can come together to create a fall, including medications, vision, balance, strength, and the home environment. I’ll also share practical ways to make a home safer without making your parent feel like they are losing their independence, plus what to look for and ask after a fall happens.
