Falls

Falls are a significant concern for seniors, as they can lead to serious injuries and a loss of independence. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among adults aged 65 and older. Each year, one in four older adults experiences a fall, but less than half report it to their doctor. Understanding the risks and implementing preventive measures can help seniors stay safe and maintain their independence.
