Daily Care

Tips at Home

Practical day-to-day tips to keep recovery on track and make your daily care safer at home.

Build a calm daily routine — meals, medications, rest, and gentle activity at the same times each day. Note any changes and share them with your healthcare providers.

  • Activity plan: walking, balance, tai chi, or chair exercises cleared by your clinician.
  • Home safety: secure rugs, install grab bars, use night lights from bed to bathroom.
  • Vision and hearing: get checked yearly; up-to-date glasses and hearing aids reduce falls.
  • Social wellness: loneliness and isolation increase fall and memory risks—schedule regular contact.
Watch Closely

What to Watch For

Knowing the signs early means quicker comfort and safer days.

  • Monthly balance confidence scale and near-fall log (date, place, what happened).
  • Home hazard checklist: loose rugs, cords, dim halls, missing grab bars, pets underfoot.

Good to know

  • Standing Strong NC: practical steps to reduce falls, dementia, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
  • Falls are the leading injury cause for adults over 65.
When to call: Sudden pain, trouble breathing, high fever, or confusion — call your nurse or doctor. Call 911 for emergencies.
Stay Strong

Stay Strong & Steady

Wellness habits that keep you moving, balanced, and independent at home.

Small steps add up: one stretch, one balanced meal, or one short walk can brighten the whole day.

  • Pick one new habit this week; add another when the first feels steady.
  • Strength and balance classes, Matter of Balance, or community walking groups when available.
  • Proper footwear indoors—avoid loose slippers on slick floors.
  • Yearly vision and hearing checks help reduce falls.
