Falls can be very serious for older adults. They are the leading reason that people end up in nursing homes. Over 50% of falls result in an injury. Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the ER as a result of a fall. Every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. 14 million Americans (1 in 4 over 65) fall each year.
