A client once told me that she fell because she didn't have access to her glasses and couldn't see clearly. It's important to keep a senior's glasses where they can easily reach them. They could be put on a string that stays around their neck. It's important to try to ensure that they always have them on before they get up (unless they're reading glasses only). You can also put a reminder note on their walker, or where they'll see it before they get up. Remember to ensure that their glasses are always clean so they can see clearly.

Welcome to CareWell Academy. This community is about one thing: learning how to work safely and effectively with seniors in their homes. Not clinics. Not textbooks. Real houses. Real situations. Before jumping into posts, take a moment to introduce yourself in the comments: 1️⃣ Where are you located? 2️⃣ What is your role? (RA, caregiver, PT, kin, nurse, student, etc.) 3️⃣ Do you currently work in home or community care? 4️⃣ What is the biggest challenge you face when working with seniors at home? You’ll notice most discussions here are based on real home-visit scenarios, practical problem solving, and shared experience from different care systems around the world. This is a place to ask questions, share situations, and learn from how others approach similar problems. Looking forward to learning about your work and experiences.
