Don’t Fall Yáll!🍂🍁

September is Fall Prevention Month and every year the first week of Fall is National Fall Prevention Week! Fall Prevention Week is a national movement to increase awareness around fall, health, and injury prevention.

According to CDC research indicates that “ more than one out of four older people- those 65 and older- falls each year, but less than half tell their doctor.”

Facts about Falls:

-1 out of 10 falls results in an injury that causes older adults to seek medical attention or restrict activity for more than one day.
-There are about 3 million ER visits due to falls in older adults each year.
- There are about 1 million fall-related hospitalizations each year due to older adults alone.
- Nearly 319,000 older people are hospitalized for Hip Fractures each year. Of these, 88% of the Emergency Department visits and hospitalizations were caused by falls.
- Falls are the most common causes of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

This week is going to be full of information, tips, and resources about how you can prevent falls in your own life!
