I’m in pretty good shape, should I really be concerned about falling?

Accidents can happen to anyone. The reality is that emergency room visits and hospitalization stays related to falls begin to increase starting at the age of 45.1

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, falls among adults aged 65 and older are common, costly, and preventable. Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among older adults.2 The Fall Prevention Program is available to help you improve your home and support the independent lifestyle you desire.
