BEHAVIORAL

Home Environment Assessment and Modification

Participants randomized to this arm receive a multi-component intervention. A trained community health worker conducts a one-time, comprehensive in-home assessment of fall hazards using a standardized checklist. Based on the assessment, the participant receives personalized, face-to-face advice for environmental modifications and is provided with, and instructed on the use of, essential safety aids including non-slip mats, night lights, anti-fall warning signs, and double-sided tape (for securing rugs). This core intervention is delivered once, 4-6 weeks after the baseline survey. All participants (in both arms) are followed up monthly for 12 months to collect data on falls.
