Prevent Seniors' Falls

Falls are the leading cause of injury among seniors. Almost half of all admissions to long term care facilities are fall-related and half of the seniors who experience a hip fracture will never regain pre-fall levels of functioning.
 

The majority of falls happen to seniors at home, during normal daily activities.

 

Here are some helpful resources and links to keep seniors free from slips, trips and broken hips.
