#falls statistics

Falls are one of the leading causes of injuries in older adults. According to the data provided by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one out of five falls causes a serious injury such as broken bones or a head injury. The figures also show that most fall incidents happen inside the homes of our elderly, especially in the bathroom and stairs. Because of these statistics, there is a need to put importance into proper housekeeping and fall-proofing the house.
