After falling and landing in the ER with a head injury (which could have easily killed me) and two sprained ankles, we installed grab handles in the bathroom, the one step down into the living room, and the front and garage doors.

Please don’t ever let pride get in the way of using a cane or whatever you need to keep your balance. Falls are a leading cause of injury and death.

I have an Apple Watch with fall detection and it works. It went off when I fell. It’s waterproof so I wear it in the shower. If you don’t respond in the event of a fall it notifies your emergency contacts and emergency services.
