What you should know

Key risk factors and information about fall prevention.

1

Fall Risk Assessment

One in four adults aged 65 and older falls each year, according to the CDC. Each year, 3 million older adults are treated in emergency departments for fall injuries. Risk factors include muscle weakness, balance problems, vision changes, certain medications, and hazards in the home. A simple assessment can identify your risks.

2

Home Safety

Most falls happen at home. Remove loose rugs, improve lighting, install grab bars in bathrooms, secure handrails on stairs, and clear walkways. Small changes prevent serious injuries.

Jump to →
3

Balance & Strength Training

Exercise programs that focus on balance, strength, and flexibility can reduce fall risk by 23% to 34%, according to Cochrane systematic reviews and CDC STEADI program data. Tai chi shows some of the strongest evidence. Leg strength, core stability, and proprioception all improve with consistent practice, even starting in your 80s.

4

Medication Review

Sedatives, blood pressure medications, antidepressants, and antihistamines can increase fall risk. Ask your pharmacist or doctor to review all medications, including over-the-counter drugs, for fall-related side effects.

5

Vision & Hearing

Poor vision and hearing loss both increase fall risk. Annual eye exams, updated prescriptions, and hearing aids when needed help you navigate your environment safely. Avoid bifocals on stairs.

Smart Home Sensors

Motion sensors, smart lighting, wearable fall detectors, and bed sensors can alert caregivers to a fall or detect changes in movement patterns that signal increasing risk before a fall happens.

When to Worry

After a fall: what to do and when to get help

If you or a loved one falls, the immediate priority is assessing for injury before attempting to get up. Moving too quickly after a fall can worsen an unrecognized injury.

For anyone who falls and cannot get up, is confused, has severe pain, or sustained a head injury — call 911. Do not leave them alone. If they are on blood thinners (warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban), a head injury that appears minor still requires emergency evaluation, as these medications can cause slow-expanding brain bleeds that may not be symptomatic for hours.

For a fall where the person is conscious, oriented, and not in severe pain: encourage them to rest, assess for injuries systematically (head, neck, hip, wrist — the most common fracture sites), and help them to a sturdy chair before attempting to stand. The "long lie" — remaining on the floor for more than an hour — causes muscle breakdown, pressure injury, dehydration, and hypothermia, and is itself associated with higher mortality than the fall itself.

After a fall with any injury or after a fall in a person with osteoporosis or over 75, medical evaluation within 24–48 hours is appropriate. Occult hip fractures are missed on initial X-ray in 2–10% of cases — if pain persists after a "normal" X-ray, request MRI.
