Fall Prevention

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury for older adults and individuals with mobility or balance challenges—yet many of these incidents are preventable. From simple home safety modifications and strength-building exercises to understanding how medications and vision changes can affect balance, small steps can make a meaningful difference.

Whether you are looking to protect yourself or support a loved one, you’ll find evidence-based tips and resources here to help keep people safe, active, and confident year-round. The ADRC can provide practical guidance, resources, and local insights to help individuals, caregivers, and communities reduce the risk of falls.
