What is Fall Prevention Program?

Each year, over 200,000 adults endure one or more falls, leading to 10,000 hospitalizations and over 800 deaths, with seniors aged 65 or older being particularly vulnerable, as 1 in 3 experience annual falls. As the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries among seniors, falls result in heightened morbidity, reduced functioning, and increased healthcare expenses. With falls and related injuries constituting a significant portion of emergency department visits and hospital admissions for seniors, we offer a specialized program aimed at mitigating fall risks. Through tailored education, exercises, and training, our program empowers individuals to lead safer lives, with options for group or individual sessions available.
