Falls affect the quality of life of all individuals, especially older adults. As we get older, age-related changes increase the risk of injury from falls, limiting activities and social engagements, and resulting in physical decline and more complex conditions.

As the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among adults 65 and older, falls carry a heavy impact in how older adults approach their daily life. For aging services professionals, understanding the profound impact falls have across the care continuum—causative factors, healthcare costs and others— is essential to providing the best care and support to individuals under their care.
