Winter fall prevention takes a little planning and possibly some acceptance that the risk is higher for a senior loved one.  Your loved one may need to be reminded to take small steps and aim for the use of handrails whenever possible.  Perhaps, it should be routine to check the weather before leaving home.  If snow or freezing rain is expected; reschedule activities that take place outside of the home.  While you may not be able to keep your senior loved one from falling this winter, but you can follow these tips to possibly prevent a serious injury.
