A r t h r i t i s , neurological diseases and impaired coordination can make older people unsteady. Various diseases and medications can result in . drowsiness or distraction. The following advice was provided by the National Institute on Aging. Q. My mother has a long, winding staircase in her home. How can she take precautions against a fall? A. Stairways should be illuminated. Light switches should be installed both at the top and bottom of the staircase. Both sides of the stairway should have sturdy handrails. Tack down carpeting on stairs and use nonskid treads. To prevent other kinds of falls, make sure there are no throw rugs that tend to slide. Use grab bars on bathroom walls and nonskid mats or strips in the bathtub. Provide night lights or bedside remote control light switches. Keep outdoor steps and walkways in good repair. Q I am worried about fires and burns Do you have"' some advice on the subject? A. Some reasonable precautions against bums include: Never smoke in bed or when drowsy. When cooking, don't wear loosely fitting flammable clothing. Bathrobes, nightgowns and pajamas catch fire. Set water heater thermostats and faucets so that water doesn't scald the skin. Plan which emergency exits to uSe in case of fire. Make sure door4ocks are not too cufn'bersome to be unlocked in a hurry in- case of fire. Q How many elderly persons are injured each year9 A? Each year about 24,000 persons over age 65 die from accidental injuries and at least B00.000 others sustain injuries severe enough to disable them for at least one day The elderly constitute about 11 percent of the population, but suffer 23 percent of all accidental deaths Write Senior Action Centers. 160 N LaSalle, Room 2020, Chicago 60601, or 3 W.
