2019 Sigma Region 15 Nursing Research Symposium
Purpose of this project was to determine the effects of reducing the incidence of falls for adults aged sixty five years and older living in their homes. Falls and accidents seldom “just happen” and many can be prevented. This project provided adults >=65 living in their home a safer environmental atmosphere and an ongoing exercise program. VNA staff received training at four additional office sites. The program decreased the fall risk for the sample group.
