Demand on your CARE: Keep Preventable Falls Away from You

很多長者會容易跌倒和失平衡，因而影響他們獨立生活的能力。曾經跌倒的長者，傾向對他們的能力失去信心，並減少與外界的接觸。有些人認為讓長者多留在家，可以防止他們跌倒，然而事實遠非如此。 導致長者跌倒的危機因素，可能與他的身體狀況、健康問題，或家居環境相關。有些藥物引致眩暈、混亂等副作用，因此有機會增加跌倒的風險。雖然跌倒可能有嚴重的後果，但是長者也不應該生活在恐懼之中，反而可以認真地努力維持和改善健康，以減低跌倒的危機。 這個課程將會介紹不同的安全建議，指導如何可以在家中減少跌倒的隱憂，包括一系列長者在室內也能輕易練習的運動。假如真的遇上跌倒的情況，課程中也會有一個自救指南以供參考。
