- Have you had a fall in or out of the home in the past year?
- Do you use a cane or a walker because of unsteadiness?
- Are you unsteady when walking up and down stairs, especially without a railing?
- 25% of Americans aged 65+ fall each year
- Every 11 seconds, an aging adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall

The alarming statistics show that fall prevention is extremely important for healthy aging, and is vital to prevent the pain and suffering that occurs after a fall and/or hospitalization. Even if you have not had a life-threatening fall, chances are you may have limited your activities or social engagements because of a lack of confidence in your physical strength.
Social isolation and depression from missing time with your family members should never be a result that you are comfortable with.
