Falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults, often resulting in serious consequences such as fractures, loss of independence, and increased healthcare needs. At Beacon Hospital, we are committed to helping our senior community stay safe and maintain their quality of life.

As we age, changes in balance, muscle strength, vision, and reaction time can increase the risk of falling. In fact, a previous fall is the single best predictor of future falls, with 30-40% of those who fall likely to do so again.

Falls can lead to significant injuries, including hip fractures and head trauma, and may result in a decline in functional independence.
