Fall Prevention in the home has become an important topic to the elderly and senior community. Each year thousands of seniors experience falls at home, many resulting in serious and even life-threatening injuries. Taking the necessary precautions and outfitting your home with the right products is key to preventing falls and insuring yours and your loved ones’ safety.

ActiveForever, an online retailer of medical equipment, home healthcare products, and physical therapy devices, has responded to the demand of physical therapists, consumers, and other healthcare professionals by introducing a new Fall Prevention products category on their website. In this category, the product specialists at ActiveForever have included the best product choices for elderly fall prevention in every room of the house. The new department acts as a Fall Prevention Guide by helping consumers chose the right grab bars, shower chairs, raised toilet seats, and bed rails.

In addition to the new Fall Prevention Category, ActiveForever has published a Fall Prevention Guide that goes beyond product purchasing. It offers tips on how to prevent falls in the home by making simple changes around the house, such as removing clutter from walkways, rearranging furniture, and using non-skid mats in the bathroom.

Whether you or your loved one have had a knee replacement or a hip replacement, or just need some extra help getting on and off the toilet, choosing the correct raised toilet seat can be difficult.
