Spring has sprung, and the Home Instead team is excited to get outside and enjoy the weather with our clients. We know how important staying active is for independent seniors. However, changes in routine and environment can sometimes increase the risk of falls. To help you and your loved ones stay safe, we are sharing some highlights of the April 2026 newsletter from the Manatee County Falls Prevention Coalition.
What’s Inside This Month:
- Navigating Florida Surfaces: Tips on staying alert for unpredictable terrain like uneven sidewalks, tree roots, and slick surfaces caused by rain or algae
- Hydration and Heat Awareness: How to protect yourself from dizziness and exhaustion as the Florida heat rises
- Spring Footwear: A guide to choosing supportive, non-slip shoes that stay on your feet
- Beach and Boardwalk Safety: Strategies for walking on shifting sand and wet docks
- Exercises to Prevent Falls: Five simple exercises to improve strength and balance
If you're excited to get some fresh air and sunshine, we encourage you and your loved ones to Read the Full Newsletter so you can enjoy a safe spring season.
As Home Instead works to provide the best home care in Bradenton, FL, we will continue to support the Manatee County Falls Prevention Coalition by sharing their resources and helping seniors stay safe.
