Becky My husband is 76 but diag. 11 yrs ago. He fell more in the beginning than now-I think he has learned to be more careful. He was falling every Sunday in the clothes closet and I realized when he looked up (high hangers) he lost his balance. Also it helps to stand up slow (if lying, sit up for a few minutes before standing), turn VERY gently. His walker helps when ambulating. A four legged cane helps if she's not into a walker.
