Preventing falls in the elderly through improved balance
Preventing falls in the elderly is a crucial aspect of ensuring their well-being and maintaining a high quality of life during their later years. Falls can have severe consequences for older individuals, often leading to injuries, reduced mobility, and a decline in overall health. As seniors may experience changes in balance, vision, and muscle strength, implementing targeted strategies becomes essential in mitigating the risk of falls.

Dementia Stages
Dementia can happen to anybody, but the risk increases with age. It depends on a combination of age, genes, health and lifestyle. Dementia is not a normal part of ageing. The majority of dementia is not inherited by children and grandchildren. In rarer types of dementia there may be a strong genetic link, but these are only a tiny proportion of overall cases of dementia.
