Key recommendations

Algorithm for Fall Risk Screening and Intervention

Education of older patients and caregivers is important for implementation and sustained use of fall prevention strategies.
In addition to providing verbal information, effective education efforts include opportunities to obtain fall prevention resources in the older patient’s language and format of choice. (e.g. links to electronic copies, giving printed handouts, videos)
We encourage you to refer your older patients to this website for access to electronic copies of our fall prevention resources which are available in both official languages.

Individualized Interventions for Patients at Low Risk

Provide education on falls prevention.
Encourage uptake and adherence to the Canadian Movement Guidelines for Adults 65 Years and Older.
Reassess at least once yearly.
