My tenant had a stroke and keeps falling. Will this affect me to?

Hello BP,

I am writing today because I have some concerns about a tenant of mine. She has suffered a stroke a couple months ago. She was hospitalized but her health has since improved some. She is able to walk around the property but has informed me that she keeps falling... I do not want harm to come to my tenant. She is an older lady and lives alone. I am concerned that she may fall and hurt herself. I am not sure if this is something that could come back on me in anyway? She keeps falling because the stroke has left parts of her body not as functional as they once were. Is there any way that this could have an affect on me? The last thing I want is a lawsuit. 

Her lease is up at the end of the year and I plan on not renewing it and asking her to find a place to move with family or assisted living. Thanks in advance for everyones advice!
