This week is Falls Prevention Awareness Week. Follow us on social media to learn more about how to prevent falls.

Each year, approximately 1 in 4 adults aged 65+ fall - that is fourteen million people. Over one-third of these falls result in an injury. Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults. In 2018, an older adult fell every second of every day, resulting in: 36 million falls; 8 million injuries; 3 million emergency department visits; 950,000 hospitalizations and 32,000 deaths. Falling once doubles the risk of falling again.
