Slips and trips can be commonplace in the elderly. This is usually as a result of them being more unsteady on their feet and their muscles being weaker. There are some conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis and dementia that can make mobility harder. Using Mobility Aids like the ones from https://www.abilitysuperstore.com/ can help to support an individual’s mobility which will enable them to be more independent and safe as they move around.

There are other ways that you can help prevent slips and trips in the elderly and these can include:

  • Grab rails – these are useful when there is a need for the person to step up. They are placed next to stairs and around baths and showers as well as being useful next to toilets to help the individual lift themselves from the seat.

  • Walking aids – these can include walking sticks and zimmer frames. These are great ways to help individuals with their walking as they help to support their frame and posture and help to greatly reduce the risk of falls.
  • Fall alarms – if you want to make sure that help can be arranged if your loved one does have a slip or fall at home you can buy personal fall alarms. These are linked to a central alarm and a monitoring company that will call designated contacts if an issue occurs.
