There are a few things you can do or add to your kitchen to reduce the risk of falling. Compare your kitchen to our checklist:
☐ | Are throw rugs/floor mats secure? |
☐ | Can you get to regularly used items without bending down or reaching up too far? |
☐ | Wipe up spills immediately, especially liquids and grease |
☐ | If you use a step stool, use one with a bar to hold onto, make sure it is sturdy |
☐ | Keep drawers and cabinets closed when not in use |
