[Resource] Stay In The Game! Prevent Falls
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalization, injury-related death, and the major reason for admission to a residential care facility. Falls and fall-related injury decrease the quality of life and independence of many seniors each year. A fall can happen anywhere, but most falls happen in your own home. Be active, take your time, live safe and choose smart to reduce your chances of having a fall, to continue the activities you love, and to “stay in the game”.
