Coming November 27: Fall Prevention and Home Safety with Fee Gentry
November 13, 2026
Coming November 27, 2026: Fee Gentry joins Isabel Melgarejo on A Time to Care: The Caregivers Podcast for a conversation about fall prevention, home safety, aging in place, and building a support system for older adults.
Episode 159, How to Prevent Falls at Home, brings together practical thinking about the places where older adults live every day. Fee shares her personal experience caring for aging parents, which shapes how she approaches safety at home.
Who this conversation is for
This episode is for family caregivers, adult children, and anyone who wants to help an older loved one stay safe and independent at home. If you have ever worried about a parent on the stairs or wondered where to begin, this conversation is planned with you in mind.
What Isabel and Fee plan to discuss
- The whole home environment. A walk through entrances, stairs, floors, furniture, the kitchen, the bathroom, lighting, clutter, and other environmental risks.
- Early warning signs. What to watch for before a small concern becomes a bigger one.
- Your A-Team. How family, friends, neighbors, and community can form a circle of support.
- A plan before a crisis. Why it helps to create an emergency plan ahead of time, and how technology may support safety and independence.
These topics come from the episode description and are shared as a preview of the upcoming conversation.
You do not have to do this alone
Keeping a loved one safe at home can feel like a lot to carry by yourself. A recurring message of this episode is that support works best when it is shared, with the right people each playing a part.
