Keeping Phoenix Active And Independent

Maintaining good balance is vital as we age. Experiencing a fall can be one of the most traumatic events in the geriatric population.

Did You Know? According To The CDC...

  • One in four Americans aged 65+ falls each year.

  • Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall; every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall.

  • Falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and the most common cause of nonfatal trauma-related hospital admissions among older adults.

  • Falls result in more than 2.8 million injuries treated in emergency departments annually, including over 800,000 hospitalizations and more than 27,000 deaths.

  • In 2015, the total cost of fall injuries was $50 billion. Medicare and Medicaid shouldered 75% of these costs.

  • The financial toll for older adult falls is expected to increase as the population ages and may reach $67.7 billion by 2020.
