<strong>Fall</strong> proof your bedroom<br />

Use a cordless phone to help<br />

you make phone calls without<br />

getting out of bed. A cordless<br />

door bell may be used to call for<br />

help.<br />

Install a night light.<br />

Consider placing a commode<br />

or urinal next to the bed at<br />

night to avoid the need to<br />

walk when sleepy.<br />

Ensure that the bed is of a correct height.<br />

You should be able to place your feet<br />

flat on the floor when you sit at the<br />

edge of the bed.<br />

Place walking aids close to<br />

the bed.
