Many local Area Agencies on Aging can help find programs and resources (or see the links below).<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Discuss falls with your health care provider<\/strong><br \/>\nAsk your provider about conducting an assessment of your fall risk. Make sure to share your history of recent falls if you have had any.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Work with your pharmacist or doctor on your medications<\/strong><br \/>\nMedication side effects can increase your chances of falling. Make sure to take medications as prescribed and if you have side effects that impair your balance consult a professional immediately.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Annually check your vision, hearing and update glasses<\/strong><br \/>\nVision and hearing may impact your balance. Annual vision and hearing tests can help keep you on your feet.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>Remove home hazards and make sure lighting is adequate<\/strong><br \/>\nRemove tripping hazards from paths \u2013 loose rugs, cords, etc. Make sure your living area is well light, install railings on stairs and place grab bars in key areas. If you have a pet, be extra careful and look down when moving and beware of toys and food bowls.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>For more information and local resources please visit the websites below:<br \/>\nAlaska &#8211;
