Answer the 5 questionsIn the bathroom, is support needed from walls, furniture or towel rails?
Check shower entry, getting on and off the toilet, wet floors, bath mats and night-time toilet trips.
From bed to bathroom at night, are there trip hazards or dark spots?
Look for rugs, cables, thresholds, furniture corners, shadows and whether a light is reachable before standing.
At entrances, stairs or thresholds, is there pausing, pulling up or need for help?
Watch for reaching for the wall, dragging feet, avoiding steps, carrying items awkwardly or struggling with the door.
After a fall in the bedroom, bathroom or kitchen, could help be called without standing?
A phone, pendant, watch or voice assistant only helps if it is reachable from the floor in the rooms where falls are most likely.
