Retired Occupational Therapist and Certified Aging in Place Specialist Esther Kane explains why a simple daily routine does more to prevent falls than most home modifications, and why routine protects independence rather than limiting it.

Listeners are encouraged to start with just one anchor. Visit SeniorSafetyAdvice.com for more practical tips and resources.
