After a parent falls, most families rush straight to grab bars and walkers without ever asking why the fall happened. Retired Occupational Therapist and Certified Aging in Place Specialist Esther Kane explains why a fall is a symptom rather than an accident, and walks listeners through what to do in the weeks that follow. She covers how to reconstruct the fall for the doctor, why a full medication review is the single highest-value step, and why the natural instinct to move less quietly raises the risk of a second, worse fall. She also explains how to ask for the physical therapy referral most families never think to request. Visit SeniorSafetyAdvice.com for more practical tips and resources.
