About this service
Despite recent advances in our understanding of client falls, they remain a major problem. Of greater concern, falls result in serious injuries that further compromise health status or even result in death, either from the fall or from secondary causes. Falls have been identified as the second leading cause of accidental death in Canada, and 56% of those falls occur in the elderly population. In addition to the hazards of everyday living and of aging, senior Canadians are weakened from illness, surgery, and bed rest; they may feel unwell and unsteady as a result of receiving multiple medications; they may be cognitive impaired, and do not use their walking aids correctly. Consequently, they trip or slip, lose their balance, and fall. However, falls are the most preventable risk to health among senior Canadians.
