Program Works to Reduce Falls by Elderly
A program in Pennsylvania to reduce falls among the elderly seems to be working.
Falls dropped 17 percent statewide after “Healthy Steps for Older Adults” was introduced.
The  program helps identify which seniors are most at risk and it encourages them to make modifications in their homes, including adding banisters to prevent a fall.
According to the CDC, one in three seniors falls each year.Â
