Hill Street Blues Television Show - Google

It's not time for that famous TV show followed by thousands of viewers... but it is time to be aware of our surroundings especially when it comes to safety for our silver friends and loved ones. June is National Safety Month.

Join Golden Horizons Elder Care Services and the National Safety Council with thousands of other organizations in the U.S.A. as we work to raise awareness of what it takes to "Let's Be Safe Out There" during the month of June 2017. The National Safety Month focuses on reducing leading causes of injury or sadly even death. The NSC's website provides facts, tips and procedures to keep seniors safe at work, on the road, and in our home communities. Special emphasis is given on targeting those susceptible to falling down. These procedures may even keep their fine china from accidentally breaking into a thousand pieces.

The National Council on Aging's website lists 6 steps to reducing falls. Click/Tap on "Read More" to review a quick reference list.
