Description

Falls are one of the biggest risks facing older adults but many of them can be prevented.
In this episode of There for Care, Amy Rein sits down with physical therapist Brian Kelly, who’s spent over two decades working with older adults, to talk about why falls happen, what the warning signs are, and what families can do to help loved ones stay safe at home.
They cover everything from small home fixes to the subtle signs someone might be at risk. Brian also shares advice on how to have honest conversations with loved ones about fall risk, without making them feel like they’re losing independence.
Whether you’re supporting a parent, partner, or just planning ahead, this episode is full of helpful tips and real-world experience you can use right away.
