For citizens over the age of 65,
losing balance and falling are a leading
cause of injury. Often, a broken hip
or other serious injury can mean the end of
one's ability to live on their own at home.
Preventing falls at home is a goal of
Shoreline Fire's community education
program.
If you are over 65 and
interested in having your home assessed for
fall hazards, the Community Education
division will visit you and do a brief
survey.
In some cases, we can assist you
in obtaining fall prevention devices for the
bedroom and bathroom.
