If you wear glasses, make sure your prescription is up to date and that you’re wearing them as prescribed.
If you experience dizziness or balance issues, be sure and discuss that with your doctor. it could be the side effect of a medication – both prescription and over-the-counter.
If there are light bulbs in need of changing in your suite, tell the concierge right away.
Exercise! Staying as physically fit as possible will improve balance, strength, and gait.

Stay fit and aware of your surroundings but most importantly, stay safe.
