Having a falls plan in place can help to reduce anxiety and will reduce the likelihood of being on the floor for a long time. You may want to consider the following as part of your falls plan:

Have a pendant alarm or mobile phone with you at all times. It may also be helpful to keep a phone at a lower level.
There are also telecare sensors available such as falls detectors for people who would not be able to press a pendant alarm.
Keep a dining chair in any room that doesn't have furniture that might help you stand up.
Make sure there are blankets in each room so that you can keep warm

If you are hurt or unable to get up:

Summon help by using your pendant alarm, calling out, crawling to a telephone or banging on a wall
Use a blanket to keep warm.
Move to a softer surface if you are able
Change position regularly if you are able

If you are unhurt and feel you can get up:

Roll over onto your hands and knees
Crawl to a stable piece of furniture such as an armchair and use this to assist you with getting up
Turn and sit on a chair or bed and rest for a while

Remember

If you have had a fall, try not to worry about it too much. There are plenty of things you can do to minimise your risk of it happening again
If you do fall, even if you’re not injured it is really important to let someone know. It may also be helpful to keep a falls diary to track and falls you have. This may allow patterns and trends be identified and reduced.
If your worries are not going away, try talking to someone about it
Set yourself small goals to build back up to your usual activities – e.g. walk for a short distance first
Think about all the times you haven’t fallen and try to maintain your usual levels of activity
