Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall; every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. One in four Americans aged 65+ falls each year; 20% are injured. In 2015, the total cost of fall injuries was $50 billion; 75% paid by Medicare and Medicaid. Costs are expected to reach $101 billion by 2030.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"red\">The Good News: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Falls are predictable modifiable physical, behavioral, and environmental risk factors. Falls are largely preventable and everyone has a role to play and can make a difference within their own sphere of influence.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>The most common risk factors that can result in a fall: PHYSICAL RISK FACTORS: Changes in your body that increase your risk for a fall. BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTORS: Things we do or don\u2019t do that increase our falls risk ENVIRONMENTAL RISK FACTORS: Hazards in our home or community\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"blue\"><strong>What can you do at home?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Enlist their support in taking simple steps to stay safe. Ask your older loved one if they\u2019re concerned about falling. Many older adults recognize that falling is a risk, but they believe it won\u2019t happen to them or they won\u2019t get hurt\u2014even if they\u2019ve already fallen in the past. If they\u2019re concerned about falling, dizziness, or balance, suggest that they discuss it with their health care provider who can assess their personal risk and suggest programs or services that could help.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Discuss their current health conditions. Find out if your older loved one is experiencing any problems with managing their own health. Are they having trouble remembering to take their medications\u2014or are they experiencing side effects? Is it getting more difficult for them to do things they used to do easily? Are hearing and vision changes becoming problematic? Also make sure they\u2019re taking advantage of all the preventive benefits now offered under Medicare, such as the Annual Wellness visit. Encourage them to speak openly with their health care provider about all of their concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ask about their last eye checkup. If your older loved one wears glasses, make sure they have a current prescription and they\u2019re using the glasses as advised by their eye doctor. Remember that using tint-changing lenses can be hazardous when going from bright sun into darkened buildings and homes. A simple strategy is to change glasses upon entry or stop until their lenses adjust. Bifocals also can be problematic on stairs, so it\u2019s important to be cautious. For those already struggling with low vision, consult with a low-vision specialist for ways to make the most of their eyesight.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Notice if they\u2019re holding onto walls, furniture, or someone else when walking or if they appear to have difficulty walking or arising from a chair. These are all signs that it might be time to see a physical therapist. A trained physical therapist can help your older loved one improve their balance, strength, and gait through exercise. They might also suggest a cane or walker\u2014and provide guidance on how to use these aids. Make\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ta track\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">older loved one improve their balance, strength, and gait through exercise. They might also suggest a cane or walker\u2014and provide guidance on how to use these aids. Make sure to follow their advice. Poorly fit aids actually can increase the risk of falling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Talk about their medications. If your older loved one is having a hard time keeping track of medicines or is experiencing side effects, encourage them to discuss their concerns with their doctor and pharmacist. Suggest that they have their medications reviewed each time they get a new prescription. Also, beware of non-prescription medications that contain sleep aids\u2014including painkillers with \u201cPM\u201d in their names. These can lead to balance issues and dizziness. If your older loved one is having sleeping problems, encourage them to talk to their doctor or pharmacist about safer alternatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Do a walk-through safety assessment of their home. There are many simple and inexpensive ways to make a home safer. For professional assistance, consult an Occupational Therapist. Here are some examples: o Increase lighting throughout the house, especially at the top and bottom of stairs. Ensure that lighting is readily available when getting up in the middle of the night. o Make sure there are two secure rails on all stairs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bathrooms Install grab bars in the tub\/shower and near the toilet. Make sure they\u2019re installed where your older loved one would actually use them. For even greater safety, consider using a shower chair and hand-held shower\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u25cb <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install handrails on outdoor steps\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u25cb <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step transitions\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u25cb <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install motion detection lighting\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u25cb <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install smoke detectors Yard: Clean, organize and remove trash and yard debris <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u25cb\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>What are some Evidence-based Fall Preventions Programs?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>MATTER OF BALANCE<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: For adults with moderate to high falls risk.

Structured group intervention activities include group discussion, skill-building, and exercise training that can be done sitting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>STEPPING ON: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For adults with moderate to high falls risk. The program offers strategies and exercises to reduce falls and increase self-confidence in making decisions and behavioral change in situations where older adults are at risk of falling.

Tai Chi programs help adults improve mobility, balance, strength, flexibility, and psychological health. Prior to starting Tai Chi, the participant should be able to stand on one leg for 5 or more seconds and not be fearful of falling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Success Story: Sandy&#8217;s story centers around when she slipped and fell on ice when she was outside with her dog: Matter of Balance is an award-winning program is designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase the activity levels of older adults who have concerns about falls.
