Fall Prevention & Nurse Call Monitoring

Falls and fractures in older people are often preventable. Reducing falls and fractures is important for maintaining the health, wellbeing and independence of older people, and avoiding the risk of additional health complications caused by falling.

• 30% of people aged 65 and over will fall at least once a year. For those aged 80 and over it is 50%*

• Falls are the number one reason older people are taken to the emergency department in a hospital*

• In around 5% of cases a fall leads to a fracture and hospitalisation*

• Short and long-term outlooks are generally poor following a hip fracture, with an increased one-year mortality of 18-33%*
