Is Your Home an Accident Waiting to Happen? Falls in the home are among the most common and yet most preventable traumatic accidents. Let's shine some light on the subject. Request your free Stop Falls! night-light. One per household, please (while supplies last).
Southwest's Fall Prevention Program The Fall Prevention Program at Southwest offers balance evaluation and training designed especially for older adults with balance problems. Injuries from falls are particularly devastating for older adults, who can face a loss of independence or the ability to remain in their own homes.
