From the Introduction
A fall in later life is not merely a physical event — it is a turning point that can bring fear, loss of confidence, family anxiety, and a renegotiation of independence that affects everyone involved. The decision to take fall prevention seriously often comes after that turning point, and those who have worked through it offer perspective that pamphlets rarely provide.

A note before you read
This book is a collection of personal, first-person testimonials offered as companion reading. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical condition or decision.
About this volume
Inside this volume
Fifty first-person accounts describe what fall prevention has actually looked like in practice: the assessments, the home modifications, the balance and strength training, the medication reviews, the vision corrections, and the harder work of overcoming the fear of falling itself. Writers include older adults and the family members who supported them. Some write after an injury; others describe the work of avoiding one.
Who it's for
For older adults working to protect their independence, the families who worry alongside them, and anyone navigating the conversation about safety after a fall or a close call.
