Understanding the Challenge: Fall Prevention & Detection
Addressing falls early, before they happen, is critical for ensuring safety, preserving dignity, and enhancing overall quality of life for care home residents and those living independently.
Enhancing the Quality of Life in Care Homes
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospital admissions among older adults in the UK. Nearly 1 in 3 people aged 65+ will experience a fall each year, rising to 1 in 2 for those aged 80 and over. The impact goes beyond physical injury—affecting confidence, independence, and long-term well-being.
Why early action matters:
- Helps avoid preventable injuries and hospital stays
- Preserves dignity and independence for residents
- Reduces long-term care costs and staff burden
- Builds trust with families through proactive safety measures
- Supports better quality of life in care environments
