Most fall prevention begins with small changes at home.

A loose rug, dim hallway, slippery pair of socks, or frequently used item stored out of reach may not seem dangerous—until balance is challenged.

Take a quick walk through the home and look for:

• Loose rugs or curled rug edges
• Clutter in walking paths
• Poor lighting, especially near stairs
• Missing or loose handrails
• Cords crossing the floor
• Slippery socks or unsupportive footwear
• Items that require reaching or climbing

Fall prevention is not about limiting independence. It is about making the home easier and safer to move through with confidence.

Small changes today can help protect mobility tomorrow.

You may not feel as thirsty when the weather turns cooler—but your body still needs fluids.

Older adults can be especially vulnerable to dehydration. Even mild dehydration may contribute to:

• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Headaches
• Confusion
• Constipation
• Weakness or unsteadiness

Try keeping water somewhere visible and easy to reach. A favorite cup, a small pitcher at the table, warm caffeine-free beverages, soups, and water-rich foods can also help support fluid intake.

If a healthcare provider has recommended fluid restrictions because of a medical condition, follow that individualized guidance.

Staying hydrated is one small habit that can support energy, clear thinking, and safer movement throughout the day.

Foot care is not just about keeping nails trimmed.

Routine preventive foot care provides an opportunity to look for changes that may otherwise go unnoticed, including:

• Thick or difficult-to-trim nails
• Corns and calluses
• Dry or cracked skin
• Swelling
• Redness or pressure areas
• Changes in sensation
• Footwear concerns

For an older adult, even a small foot problem can make walking uncomfortable. When walking becomes painful, activity may decrease—and that can affect strength, balance, and independence.

Regular nurse-led foot care can help support comfort, mobility, and early recognition of concerns.

Healthy feet are an important part of staying active and independent.

Cooler air and indoor heat can leave aging skin dry, itchy, and more likely to crack.

Feet may need a little extra attention this time of year.

Try these simple steps:

• Check both feet every day
• Dry carefully between the toes
• Moisturize the tops, bottoms, and heels
• Avoid putting moisturizer between the toes
• Wear clean, dry socks
• Report cracks, redness, swelling, or sore areas early

Someone with diabetes, poor circulation, numbness, or difficulty reaching their feet may need additional support.

Small skin changes are easier to address when they are noticed early.

A shoe can look comfortable and still be the wrong fit.

Shoes that are loose, worn down, difficult to fasten, or too narrow can contribute to foot pain, skin irritation, unsteady walking, and falls.

A supportive everyday shoe should:

• Fit securely around the heel
• Leave enough room for the toes
• Have a firm, slip-resistant sole
• Be easy to put on and fasten
• Feel comfortable without needing to be “broken in”

Feet can change over time. Swelling, arthritis, changes in circulation, and thickened nails can all affect how a familiar pair of shoes fits.

Checking footwear regularly is a simple way to support comfort, balance, and independence.

They are small changes you begin noticing over time.

Maybe Mom seems less steady walking through the house.

Dad has started mentioning that his feet hurt, so he is moving around less.

There are more questions about medications than there used to be.

Appointments are becoming harder to keep organized.

Or everyday routines simply seem to require more effort.

One change does not necessarily mean something is wrong. But patterns are worth paying attention to.

Try approaching these changes with curiosity rather than immediately stepping in to take over.

You might say:

“I noticed this has been a little harder lately. How has it been feeling for you?”

That opens the door to a conversation while respecting your parent's independence and ability to make their own decisions.

Supporting an aging parent does not always mean doing more for them. Sometimes it means noticing, listening, asking good questions, and figuring out what support would actually make life easier.

A medication planner can make daily medications easier—but only when it is filled correctly.

Before organizing medications, take a few minutes to compare every bottle with the current medication list.

Check:

• Medication name and strength
• Dose and time of day
• Prescribing provider
• Recent medication changes
• Remaining pills and available refills
• Expired or discontinued medications

Avoid adding unfamiliar medications to a planner until the instructions have been confirmed with the prescribing provider or pharmacy.

A little organization can reduce confusion, missed doses, and medication errors.

🌿 **I have some exciting Peiskos news to share!**

Beginning in October, I’ll be offering **preventive foot care clinics every Monday** at a new Peiskos Wellness clinic space, in conjunction with **Medically Mindful Wellness at Mill Brook Office Park in Stratham**.

Many of you already know how important it is to me that older adults receive care that is personal, practical, and never rushed. This new space will allow me to bring Peiskos services to more people in the Stratham and Seacoast communities.

Foot care visits may include routine nail trimming and filing, reduction of thickened nails and calluses, foot and skin assessments, footwear education, and support for comfort, mobility, and fall prevention.

Peiskos also continues to provide nurse-led wellness and aging support throughout Southern New Hampshire, including home visits, medication support, care coordination, patient advocacy, advance directive support, and independence assessments.

📅 **Monday appointments in Stratham begin in October.**

I would be so grateful if you shared this with an older adult, caregiver, family member, or friend who may benefit. 💜
