What to Do When an Older Adult Falls: Do Not Rush to Lift

Do not rush to lift an older adult after a fall; first ask and check consciousness, pain, fractures and head injury. If a fracture or head injury is suspected, keep them still and call 120; if fine, lift slowly, then seek medical checks. During recovery, exercise under guidance, prevent another fall, and attend to osteoporosis and non-slip home safety.

Check injury and consciousness first, call for help for fractures or head injury, and prevent another fall during recovery.
