Globally, falling has become one of the leading causes of unintentional injury deaths. In Hong Kong, about 1 in 5 elderly experience falls every year and among those who fall, 75% would sustain an injury such as head trauma and broken bones. Recovering from a fall becomes more challenging as your loved ones age, and some may never reach their fullest health potential again.

The risk of falling increases with age - in Hong Kong 75% of elderly who have experienced falls have sustained injuries, of which 7% were serious injuries. Apart from physical consequences, falls also put a major psychological and financial burden on you and your loved ones. For example, 70% of fallers reported having a fear of falling after such incidents. Falls happen with a reason, and understanding which risk factors apply to your loved ones can reduce injuries and protect their sense of independence.

Over 90% of seniors prefer to stay in their own homes as they age, which makes it our responsibility to create a safe environment that enables our loved ones to move freely without the risk of falling. According to Elderly Health Services , falling is one of the most common causes of injury amongst elderly. Over 60% of falls occur at home, of which 37% were due to environmental factors . Although the chances of falling inevitably increase with age, environmental hazards (e.g loose rugs, uneven walkways) are risk factors that can be easily prevented.
