Everyday Dementia Guide

19. Why is FALLING such a big deal?


Listen Later

This month we’re doing a series here on Everyday Dementia Guide about what’s normal and expected when living with dementia versus what’s a problem. I know that when we were walking this journey, we didn’t know what we were supposed to expect and what was coming next, and what we should try to avoid, and neither did the professionals we consulted. So, we’re going to go through some of the things you might start to see, and whether they’re expected and what to do when you see them, and we’re talking about falling today.

In this episode:

  • Why is falling such a big concern
  • How you can prevent falls
  • What to watch for when a fall happens

Resources: 

  • CDC Fall Safety Checklist
  • Alzheimer’s Society of Canada - Reducing falls checklist

What did you think of the tips? We'd love to hear from you!
