Agewell
Falls Prevention
Falls are not a normal part of aging, but they are one of the greatest causes of serious injury among people age 65 and older. In fact, every eleven seconds an older adult is treated in the emergency room after experiencing a fall. The good news is that most falls can be prevented, and you have the power to reduce your risk!
