Most falls at home don’t happen on the ice or on the stairs — they happen in the dark, between the bed and the bathroom, at two in the morning. In this episode, retired Occupational Therapist, Certified Aging in Place Specialist, and Dementia Care Specialist Esther Kane walks through a simple ten-minute nighttime routine that removes the four things that actually cause those falls, including the one free step she’d keep if she could only keep one. She also covers what changes when memory loss is part of the picture, why the light should always be pointing where you want someone to go, and why a screwdriver beats a speech every time.
