Did you know:

• One in four older Americans falls every year?
• Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries for people age 65 and older?
• Falls can result in broken hips (and other broken bones) and head injuries?
• Even falls without major injury can result in an older adult becoming fearful or depressed and therefore less active?
