Signs and symptoms of dementia Dementia is a collection of symptoms including memory loss personality change and impaired in-
tellectual functions resulting from disease or trauma to the brain These changes are not part of
normal aging and are severe enough to impact daily living independence and relationships While
Alzheimerrsquos disease is the most common type of dementia there are also many other forms in-
cluding vascular and mixed dementia
With dementia there will likely be noticeable decline in communication learning remembering
and problem solving These changes may occur quickly or very slowly over time
The progression and outcome of dementia vary but are largely determined by the type of demen-
tia and which area of the brain is affected Diagnosis is possible through advanced brain imaging
clinical examinations and diagnostic testing
Common signs and symptoms of dementia include
Memory loss
Impaired judgment
Difficulties with abstract thinking
Faulty reasoning
Inappropriate behavior

Preventing Falls Among Older Adults
We all want to protect ourselves and older family members by helping them stay safe secure and independent Knowing how to reduce the risk of falling a leading cause of injury is a step toward this goal
The Reality
Each year one in every three adults ages 65 or older falls and 2 million are treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries And the risk of falling increases with each decade of life The long-term consequences of fall injuries such as hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can impact the health and independence of older adults Thankfully falls are not an inevitable part of aging In fact many falls can be prevented Everyone can take actions to protect the older adults they care about
Prevention Tips
You can play a role in preventing falls Encourage the older adults (and yourself) in your life to
Get some exercise Lack of exercise can lead to weak legs and this increases the chances of falling Exercise programs such as Tai Chi can increase strength and improve balance making falls much less
likely
Be mindful of medications Some medicinesmdashor combinations of medicinesmdashcan have side effects such as dizziness or drowsiness This can make falling more likely Having a doctor or pharmacist review all med-ications can help reduce the chance of risky side effects and drug interactions
Keep their vision sharp Poor vision can make it harder to get around safely Older adults should have their eyes checked every year and wear glasses or contact lenses with the right prescription strength to ensure they are seeing clearly
Eliminate hazards at home About half of all falls happen at home A home safe-ty check can help identify potential fall hazards that need to be removed or changed such as tripping hazards clutter and poor lighting
Steps for Home Safety
The following checklist can help older adults reduce their risk of falling at home
Remove things you can trip over (such as papers books clothes and shoes) from stairs and places where you walk
Install handrails and lights on all staircases Remove small throw rugs or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs from slipping Keep items you use often in cabinets you can reach easily without using a step stool Put grab bars inside and next to the tub or shower and next to your toilet Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors Improve the lighting in your home As you get older you need brighter lights to see well Hang lightweight
curtains or shades to reduce glare Wear shoes both inside and outside the house Avoid going barefoot or wearing slippers

Preventing Falls Among Older Adults
We all want to protect ourselves and older family members by helping them stay safe secure and independent Knowing how to reduce the risk of falling a leading cause of injury is a step toward this goal
The Reality
Each year one in every three adults ages 65 or older falls and 2 million are treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries And the risk of falling increases with each decade of life The long-term consequences of fall injuries such as hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can impact the health and independence of older adults Thankfully falls are not an inevitable part of aging In fact many falls can be prevented Everyone can take actions to protect the older adults they care about
Prevention Tips
You can play a role in preventing falls Encourage the older adults (and yourself) in your life to
Get some exercise Lack of exercise can lead to weak legs and this increases the chances of falling Exercise programs such as Tai Chi can increase strength and improve balance making falls much less
likely
Be mindful of medications Some medicinesmdashor combinations of medicinesmdashcan have side effects such as dizziness or drowsiness This can make falling more likely Having a doctor or pharmacist review all med-ications can help reduce the chance of risky side effects and drug interactions
Keep their vision sharp Poor vision can make it harder to get around safely Older adults should have their eyes checked every year and wear glasses or contact lenses with the right prescription strength to ensure they are seeing clearly
Eliminate hazards at home About half of all falls happen at home A home safe-ty check can help identify potential fall hazards that need to be removed or changed such as tripping hazards clutter and poor lighting
Steps for Home Safety
The following checklist can help older adults reduce their risk of falling at home
Remove things you can trip over (such as papers books clothes and shoes) from stairs and places where you walk
Install handrails and lights on all staircases Remove small throw rugs or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs from slipping Keep items you use often in cabinets you can reach easily without using a step stool Put grab bars inside and next to the tub or shower and next to your toilet Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors Improve the lighting in your home As you get older you need brighter lights to see well Hang lightweight
curtains or shades to reduce glare Wear shoes both inside and outside the house Avoid going barefoot or wearing slippers

Preventing Falls Among Older Adults
We all want to protect ourselves and older family members by helping them stay safe secure and independent Knowing how to reduce the risk of falling a leading cause of injury is a step toward this goal
The Reality
Each year one in every three adults ages 65 or older falls and 2 million are treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries And the risk of falling increases with each decade of life The long-term consequences of fall injuries such as hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can impact the health and independence of older adults Thankfully falls are not an inevitable part of aging In fact many falls can be prevented Everyone can take actions to protect the older adults they care about
Prevention Tips
You can play a role in preventing falls Encourage the older adults (and yourself) in your life to
Get some exercise Lack of exercise can lead to weak legs and this increases the chances of falling Exercise programs such as Tai Chi can increase strength and improve balance making falls much less
likely
Be mindful of medications Some medicinesmdashor combinations of medicinesmdashcan have side effects such as dizziness or drowsiness This can make falling more likely Having a doctor or pharmacist review all med-ications can help reduce the chance of risky side effects and drug interactions
Keep their vision sharp Poor vision can make it harder to get around safely Older adults should have their eyes checked every year and wear glasses or contact lenses with the right prescription strength to ensure they are seeing clearly
Eliminate hazards at home About half of all falls happen at home A home safe-ty check can help identify potential fall hazards that need to be removed or changed such as tripping hazards clutter and poor lighting
Steps for Home Safety
The following checklist can help older adults reduce their risk of falling at home
Remove things you can trip over (such as papers books clothes and shoes) from stairs and places where you walk
Install handrails and lights on all staircases Remove small throw rugs or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs from slipping Keep items you use often in cabinets you can reach easily without using a step stool Put grab bars inside and next to the tub or shower and next to your toilet Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors Improve the lighting in your home As you get older you need brighter lights to see well Hang lightweight
curtains or shades to reduce glare Wear shoes both inside and outside the house Avoid going barefoot or wearing slippers

Preventing Falls Among Older Adults
We all want to protect ourselves and older family members by helping them stay safe secure and independent Knowing how to reduce the risk of falling a leading cause of injury is a step toward this goal
The Reality
Each year one in every three adults ages 65 or older falls and 2 million are treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries And the risk of falling increases with each decade of life The long-term consequences of fall injuries such as hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can impact the health and independence of older adults Thankfully falls are not an inevitable part of aging In fact many falls can be prevented Everyone can take actions to protect the older adults they care about
Prevention Tips
You can play a role in preventing falls Encourage the older adults (and yourself) in your life to
Get some exercise Lack of exercise can lead to weak legs and this increases the chances of falling Exercise programs such as Tai Chi can increase strength and improve balance making falls much less
likely
Be mindful of medications Some medicinesmdashor combinations of medicinesmdashcan have side effects such as dizziness or drowsiness This can make falling more likely Having a doctor or pharmacist review all med-ications can help reduce the chance of risky side effects and drug interactions
Keep their vision sharp Poor vision can make it harder to get around safely Older adults should have their eyes checked every year and wear glasses or contact lenses with the right prescription strength to ensure they are seeing clearly
Eliminate hazards at home About half of all falls happen at home A home safe-ty check can help identify potential fall hazards that need to be removed or changed such as tripping hazards clutter and poor lighting
Steps for Home Safety
The following checklist can help older adults reduce their risk of falling at home
Remove things you can trip over (such as papers books clothes and shoes) from stairs and places where you walk
Install handrails and lights on all staircases Remove small throw rugs or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs from slipping Keep items you use often in cabinets you can reach easily without using a step stool Put grab bars inside and next to the tub or shower and next to your toilet Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors Improve the lighting in your home As you get older you need brighter lights to see well Hang lightweight
curtains or shades to reduce glare Wear shoes both inside and outside the house Avoid going barefoot or wearing slippers

Preventing Falls Among Older Adults
We all want to protect ourselves and older family members by helping them stay safe secure and independent Knowing how to reduce the risk of falling a leading cause of injury is a step toward this goal
The Reality
Each year one in every three adults ages 65 or older falls and 2 million are treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries And the risk of falling increases with each decade of life The long-term consequences of fall injuries such as hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can impact the health and independence of older adults Thankfully falls are not an inevitable part of aging In fact many falls can be prevented Everyone can take actions to protect the older adults they care about
Prevention Tips
You can play a role in preventing falls Encourage the older adults (and yourself) in your life to
Get some exercise Lack of exercise can lead to weak legs and this increases the chances of falling Exercise programs such as Tai Chi can increase strength and improve balance making falls much less
likely
Be mindful of medications Some medicinesmdashor combinations of medicinesmdashcan have side effects such as dizziness or drowsiness This can make falling more likely Having a doctor or pharmacist review all med-ications can help reduce the chance of risky side effects and drug interactions
Keep their vision sharp Poor vision can make it harder to get around safely Older adults should have their eyes checked every year and wear glasses or contact lenses with the right prescription strength to ensure they are seeing clearly
Eliminate hazards at home About half of all falls happen at home A home safe-ty check can help identify potential fall hazards that need to be removed or changed such as tripping hazards clutter and poor lighting
Steps for Home Safety
The following checklist can help older adults reduce their risk of falling at home
Remove things you can trip over (such as papers books clothes and shoes) from stairs and places where you walk
Install handrails and lights on all staircases Remove small throw rugs or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs from slipping Keep items you use often in cabinets you can reach easily without using a step stool Put grab bars inside and next to the tub or shower and next to your toilet Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors Improve the lighting in your home As you get older you need brighter lights to see well Hang lightweight
curtains or shades to reduce glare Wear shoes both inside and outside the house Avoid going barefoot or wearing slippers

Be mindful of medications Some medicinesmdashor combinations of medicinesmdashcan have side effects such as dizziness or drowsiness This can make falling more likely Having a doctor or pharmacist review all med-ications can help reduce the chance of risky side effects and drug interactions
Keep their vision sharp Poor vision can make it harder to get around safely Older adults should have their eyes checked every year and wear glasses or contact lenses with the right prescription strength to ensure they are seeing clearly
Eliminate hazards at home About half of all falls happen at home A home safe-ty check can help identify potential fall hazards that need to be removed or changed such as tripping hazards clutter and poor lighting
Steps for Home Safety
The following checklist can help older adults reduce their risk of falling at home
Remove things you can trip over (such as papers books clothes and shoes) from stairs and places where you walk
Install handrails and lights on all staircases Remove small throw rugs or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs from slipping Keep items you use often in cabinets you can reach easily without using a step stool Put grab bars inside and next to the tub or shower and next to your toilet Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors Improve the lighting in your home As you get older you need brighter lights to see well Hang lightweight
curtains or shades to reduce glare Wear shoes both inside and outside the house Avoid going barefoot or wearing slippers

Preventing Falls Among Older Adults
We all want to protect ourselves and older family members by helping them stay safe secure and independent Knowing how to reduce the risk of falling a leading cause of injury is a step toward this goal
The Reality
Each year one in every three adults ages 65 or older falls and 2 million are treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries And the risk of falling increases with each decade of life The long-term consequences of fall injuries such as hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can impact the health and independence of older adults Thankfully falls are not an inevitable part of aging In fact many falls can be prevented Everyone can take actions to protect the older adults they care about
Prevention Tips
You can play a role in preventing falls Encourage the older adults (and yourself) in your life to
Get some exercise Lack of exercise can lead to weak legs and this increases the chances of falling Exercise programs such as Tai Chi can increase strength and improve balance making falls much less
likely
Be mindful of medications Some medicinesmdashor combinations of medicinesmdashcan have side effects such as dizziness or drowsiness This can make falling more likely Having a doctor or pharmacist review all med-ications can help reduce the chance of risky side effects and drug interactions
Keep their vision sharp Poor vision can make it harder to get around safely Older adults should have their eyes checked every year and wear glasses or contact lenses with the right prescription strength to ensure they are seeing clearly
Eliminate hazards at home About half of all falls happen at home A home safe-ty check can help identify potential fall hazards that need to be removed or changed such as tripping hazards clutter and poor lighting
