National Falls Prevention Awareness Day is observed annually on September 22nd, coinciding with the first day of fall. This day, sponsored by The National Council on Aging (NCOA), aims to raise public awareness about the seriousness of falls, especially among older adults, and promotes preventative actions to reduce fall-related injuries.

Mark, our Director of Rehabilition, held an exercise class for our residents focusing on fall prevention. Then he did a presentation on fall prevention.

A Major Public Health Issue: Falls are a significant public health concern, leading to injury-related emergency department visits and, in some cases, fatalities.
Common Injuries: Falls can result in serious injuries, including hip fractures and head trauma.
Preventable Accidents: Many falls are preventable through simple strategies and awareness.
