Senior Fall Prevention
 
 

Did you know that 20% of all Senior Adults who fall and experience a broken hip will die from their injury within one year, and 50% will require a cane or walker for the rest of their life.?  

 

Have any of your parents, family members or friends fallen in their homes? Have they stumbled over a pet, tripped on a throw rug, or slipped in the bathroom? If so, this program assisting the elderly to prevent falls in their homes may be able to help.

 

The Fall Prevention Program offers the elderly home safety assessments and the installation of free fall prevention devices. To qualify, individuals must be 55 years or older (or care for someone), and reside in Satellite Beach.
