About half of all falls happen at home. To increase acceoussibility and make your home safer:

　　● Remove items you might trip over from stairs and places where you walk.

　　● Remove small throw rugs(易滑地垫)or use double-sided tape to keep rugs from slipping.

　　● Have grab bars installed next to your toilet, and install grab bars in your tub or shower.

　　● Improve the lighting in your home.

　　● Make sure all stairways have handrails and sufficient lighting.

　　● Wear shoes that give good support and have thin non-slip soles.

　　You might also consider avoiding lightweight slippers ( especially backless styles), which can reduce your feeling of control.

　　Prevent Falling : Watch Out for Medication Side Effects

　　Age can effect the way some medications work in your body, so if you have been taking any over-the-counter medications for a while, it抯 important to tell your health care provider. He or she will be able to tell you if they are still safe for you to take. t

　　● Look out for drugs that have side effects including drowsiness(困倦). These side effects can increase your risk of falling . this especially important with over-the-conter cold and flu medications, which can often increase drowsiness.

　　● And don’t forget herbal remedies(草药). Some remedies increase sleepiness and many react with other types of medication, which could increase your risk of falling down. Be sure to check with your health care provider before trying new medication.
