Dan McMurty talks the importance of ongoing maintenance and preventative measures
Each September marks Fall Prevention Month, a nationwide initiative to raise awareness about one of the most common and preventable causes of injury among older adults. According to WDBJ7, more than 14 million people aged 65 and older report falls each year, often resulting in broken bones, loss of independence, and other serious consequences. This campaign is a reminder that with a few thoughtful changes, many accidents can be prevented before they happen.
In Roanoke, TruBlue owner Dan McMurty has made it his mission to help seniors, families, and caregivers identify safety risks in the home and apply simple, practical solutions. His team conducts in-home walkthroughs that focus on prevention by spotting hazards and recommending easy modifications that make a meaningful difference. And while September may have passed, it is essential to stay proactive year-round, especially if you have aging loved ones, to reduce the risk of falls before they happen.
