I would get rubber step guards as you can also slip on carpeting. Rubber will grip you foot whether you are in socks or shoes. They have made some fancy designs in rubber.

Non-slip treads that stick on stairs, plus make sure you've got a sturdy handrail. Get used to having your hand on the rail when you go up or down, especially since you've been falling! Hope you don't have any more falls.

Home Depot and Lowes sell rubber stick on stair treads! Installed those for mom on her garage stair. Worked beautifully!

Oh Janine, I'm so sorry about your falls. I too would suggest rubber non-slip treads. They come in a variety of colors so they won't stand out, even decorative styles, so they don't have to look awful in case you're worried about that. https://www.google.com/search?q=decorative+rubber+no-slip+treads&biw=1600&bih=731&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAmoVChMIwZ7n3dvTyAIVTYANCh212AHc

Hello Janine, this DIY staircase runner will help slip-proof your tile staircase. Instead of stapling the mats you can try using carpet glue: http://goo.gl/63zexu

If you have ceramic tile steps, you can paint them with a good quality concrete paint that contains an anti-slip ingredient. There are lots of color selections. I agree with the comment about installing hand rails. Falls can be dangerous!
