FALL PREVENTION SCREENINGS

Falls and fall-related injuries among older adults are common and present a serious public health crisis in the United States. Falls among older adults result in longstanding pain, functional impairment, disability, hospital morbidity, death and premature nursing home admissions. Further, they represent a significant burden on individuals, families, society and the health care system, as evidenced through associated costs and decreased quality of life for our older adults and their families. Falls are not an inevitable part of the aging process, and are often highly preventable.

Medications can contribute to a fall.  Our pharmacists can provide a comprehensive Medication review to identify medications that are candidates for elimination or dose reduction.  They will also help you identify other non-medication related risk factors that can contribute to a fall.
