Falls are a significant health concern for seniors. Anyone can fall, but with increasing age, the risk and likelihood of injury increase. The consequences of a fall for a senior can be life-altering and can impact independence and quality of life.
More than 27,000 of them will die as a result of their fall injuries, and many more will experience disabilities that lead to a loss of independence. Falls are a major public health problem, reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
