Our friends at the National Council on Aging (NCOA) want us to know that falls are not a natural part of aging.
Even when we or a loved one are healthy, and have talked with our health care providers about it, it’s important to check for the presence of risk. The good news is that there are many steps we can take to prevent a scary and hurtful fall.
With this in mind, the NCOA has created a simple 13-question survey to help determine our falls risk score and get resources that are helpful in preventing falls.
