February 21, 2016 By Karen Leave a Comment

Fall prevention is a critical area for seniors, especially those with chronic illnesses.

In the video below, Karen introduces the concept of fall management along with why it is so important. She offers unique insight into the challenges that many seniors face as they try to navigate home environments.

She also specifically focuses on the relationship between diabetics and fall prevention, and highlights specific areas that the caregivers of diabetic patients need to be aware of.

If you’re interested in more of Karen’s videos, you can find them on our YouTube channel.

We also have a post on preventing falls around the home, which offers practical advice and information about tools that can be used to help reduce the risk of falls.
