[quote=Anonymous]That is rough. Does the AL have fall prevention exercises? It won't stop it completely, but it is important to work on balance. Alternatively, you could have a PT work on this. That said, they can't work miracles. Something to keep in mind for all of us is to as we age keep working on balance and strength training and hope for the best, Also, is she on an SSRI? Some can increase chance of falling. However, sometimes the risk of fall is worth it if the behavior is terrible off it because people do get kicked out of AL.[/quote]
