Fall risk assessment.
A fall risk assessment is a review by a clinician of the things that make your parent more likely to fall, so those risks can be reduced.
A fall risk assessment looks at the whole picture: balance and strength, vision, blood pressure, medications that cause dizziness, past falls, and hazards in the home. The point is to find what is stacking the odds and change it.
Falls are a turning point for many aging parents, and a lot of the risk is fixable. That might mean physical therapy, adjusting a medication, better lighting, grab bars, or removing loose rugs.
You do not have to wait for a fall to ask for one. If your parent has already fallen, feels unsteady, or is afraid of falling, it is worth raising with their doctor.
