Fall Prevention

According to the Center for Disease Control, 60% of falls happen in the home. The CDC notes that older adults can reduce the risk of falls through:

• Education about fall risk factors
• Referrals to community exercise programs to increase strength and balance
• Medication review, and
• Home modifications to reduce fall hazards

Victims of Falls:

If you have fallen, you are in good company. Did you know that Jessica Lange,  Hillary Clinton, Sonia Sotomayor and Pope Benedict XVI are only a few famous fallers? The fact is that falling does not discriminate and can happen to anyone. Through home modification, you can minimize risk of falls and injury.
