Ms Ciska Mouton, well known Physiotherapist of Parow, visited the Tygerberg Meals on Wheels to talk to the seniors about safety in and around the house. She focused on precautions that can be taken to minimise dangers like loose mats or electrical wires; to mark the edges of steps; not to stand on chairs and to always wear proper fitting shoes. Always use your walking aid and always carry your cell phone with you. Ms Mouton gave sound advice about what to do when you have a fall and also what to do when you are the caregiver. It was worth listening to her and to take her suggestions seriously.
