[Guide] Caregivers’ Guide to Fall Prevention

resource image

Falls are the No.1 cause of injury for seniors in Canada. Falls can lead to hospital stays and make it harder for seniors to live independently. 

As people get older, falls are more likely to happen. A fall can cause injury, chronic pain and make everyday life harder. Even without an injury, a fall can shake a person’s confidence and cause them to be less active. 


The Caregivers’ Guide to Fall Prevention provides simple and practical information to help caregivers understand, prevent and manage falls.
