Quick Facts

Elderly persons who fall are 10 times more likely to be hospitalized and eight times more likely to die as the result.
Getting help quickly after a fall reduces the risk of hospitalization by 26% and death by 80% (Study by New England Journal of Medicine).
Each year more than a third of older adults age 65 and older experience a fall (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
If a senior receives help in the first hour, the “golden hour” there is a 90% chance that they will return home. If a senior does not receive help within six hours, there is a 90% chance they will require a nursing home (www.pioneeremergency.com/senior-falling-information.shtml)
Nearly 85% of deaths resulting from falls in 2004 were among individuals 75 years old and older (2005 CDC study).
Falls were a major reason for 40% of nursing home admissions.
More than one third of adults 65 and older fall each year in the United States (Hornbrook et al. 1994; Hausdorff et al. 2001).
Among older adults, falls are the leading cause of injury deaths. They are also the most common cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma (CDC 2005).
The rates of fall-related deaths among older adults rose significantly over the past decade (Stevens 2006).
