The falls of elderly people in their home are frequently related to the environment. Plans and photographs of the home provided by the patient's relatives are useful and constitute relevant assessment tools. The home visit is even more effective as it helps to identify areas which pose a high risk of falling which cannot be picked up by the other tools.
