The safety and well-being of seniors in assisted living facilities is crucial. Fall risk among seniors is one of the main causes of death and injury. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that one in four Americans aged 65 and older falls at least once a year. This increased risk is caused by several factors, including diminished muscle strength, poor balance, long-term medical issues, drug adverse effects, hazardous environments, and cognitive loss. Falls can result in life-threatening injuries, poor quality of life, and loss of independence
Senior living facilities, including skilled nursing homes, assisted living communities, and independent living residences, encounter distinct challenges in fall prevention. These settings often serve residents with a wide range of needs and abilities, making it difficult to apply standardized fall prevention strategies. Complicating matters further are staffing limitations, budget constraints, and variations in facility design, which can hinder effective fall risk management.
