Wet leaves are one of the most overlooked fall hazards around a senior's home, and they're far slicker than most people realize. In this episode, retired Occupational Therapist, Certified Aging in Place Specialist, and Dementia Care Specialist Esther Kane explains why autumn walkways catch active older adults off guard, why the path you know best is the one you stop watching, and what leaves hide underneath them. She shares practical, low-cost steps for clearing leaves safely, checking outdoor handrails, improving lighting, and choosing the right footwear for quick trips outside. There's also guidance for families caring for someone with dementia. For more senior safety tips and aging-in-place resources, visit SeniorSafetyAdvice.com.
