Elderly Fall Prevention
Falls often result in severe injuries requiring hospitalization. The CDC states that over 800,000 older adults are hospitalized every year due to fall-related injuries, with hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries being among the most common outcomes. Beyond the immediate physical injuries they can cause, falls can affect seniors’ independence, leading to diminished quality of life and increased reliance on caregivers.

By implementing fall prevention strategies, such as exercise, medication reviews, and home modifications, it is possible to promote the overall well-being of older adults.
