September is Falls Prevention Awareness Month.

If you or an older adult in your life has fallen, you’re not alone. The risk of falling — and fall-related problems — rises with age. However, there are things you can do to help prevent falls, including:

Staying physically active
Trying balance and strength exercises
Having your vision and hearing checked regularly

Check out the National Institute on Aging to learn more about fall prevention and how to stay safe as you age: https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/falls-and-falls-prevention/falls-and-fractures-older-adults-causes-and-prevention?&utm_source=nia-eblast&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=general-20250901 -to-take-to-prevent-falls
