“I’m at risk for falls. As we age, balance, vision, medications, and bone strength all change — and a single fall can be life-changing. I do balance exercises, take vitamin D, review meds with my team, and keep my home safe. I wanted you to know because if I’ve fallen — even if I got up — please help me get checked. And if I can’t bear weight or hit my head, call 911.”
