Falls Reduction Programming
According to the Centers for Disease Control and prevention (CDC), each year, millions of older people—those 65 and older—fall. In fact, more than one out of four older people falls each year, but less than half tell their doctor. Falling once doubles your chances of falling again. One out of five falls results in serious injury or death.
You have the power to prevent a fall!
