The Center for Disease Control (CDC) publishes free, informative brochures and posters about preventing falls in older people. They are available in both English and Spanish. Younger people should take note of them, too. The information is practical and helpful, no matter what your age.

We at American Bone Health particularly like What You can Do to Prevent Falls and Check for Safety: A Fall Prevention Checklist for Older Adults. Whether you download the PDFs or mail a hard copy version to your loved one, you can make these great publications the center piece of a discussion about preventing falls and improving home safety.
