Falls can happen at any age, however, falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults. It is important to know that they are largely preventable. 1 in 3 adults over the age of 65 fall each year. 50% of all fall-related hospitalizations occur as a result of falls in the home. Have you ever asked the questions “What can I do to prevent falls at home?” or “How do I make my home safer to reduce the risk of falling?” HealthCraft has reviewed the fall prevention literature and developed the Home Safety Checklist. Use it to discover some simple or low cost changes as well as more involved changes that will keep you safe in your home for years to come.
