This Week at Your Library

Falls are the leading cause of death in older adults. Here are some things you can do to help decrease your chance of falls: 1. Be very careful around curbs, they are very hazardous to older adults. 2. Don’t try to do two things at once. Concentrate on what you are doing and focus your mind to get the task done. 3. If you use a ladder, step up on the ladder with your stronger leg first, and then follow with the other. Go up one step at a time always starting with your stronger leg.
