OUR MISSION
Empowering older adults and their families to understand the real causes of falls, and take action before a fall takes their independence.
Every 11 seconds, an older American is treated in an emergency room for a fall. Falls are the leading cause of injury for adults over 65, but they are not a normal part of aging. Most falls are predictable, and most are preventable.
The Falls Factor program exists to:
- Simplify: Give you one clear number that captures your real fall risk, not a vague “be careful” warning.
- Educate: Show you the often-overlooked factors behind falls, including balance, medication interactions, vision, and hearing health, which research links directly to balance and spatial awareness.
- Take Action: Connect you with proven, evidence-based steps and qualified providers who treat the root causes, not just the symptoms.
- Protect Independence: Help you stay in your home, on your feet, and living the life you want.
This program is more than a number, it’s a tool to protect your independence and the people you love.
