Fall risk assessment

Fall risk assessment is a process used to evaluate an individual’s likelihood of falling, particularly among older adults or those with certain health conditions. It involves reviewing factors such as medical history, physical abilities, medications, and home environment. By identifying risks, healthcare providers can create personalized plans to reduce the chances of falls, which can lead to injuries. This assessment is important for maintaining safety, independence, and overall health. It's a proactive step to help people live safely and confidently in their daily lives.
