If you are worried about falling

The following is advice provided by RoSPA:

Avoid leaving items on the stairs - they can become a tripping hazard.
Ensure stairs are carefully maintained - damaged or worn carpet should be repaired or removed.
Try to avoid repetitive carpet patterns that may produce a false perception for those with poor eyesight.
Landings, stairs and hallways shouild be well lit with two-way light switches.
Make sure banisters are sturdy. The fittig of two easy-grip handrails gives more stability.
