PDF
Falls are the leading cause of injury, disability, nursing home placement, and death in adults over the age of 65 years. Yet in the United States one in every three older adults falls each year.
In order to address this problem, the Occupational Therapy Geriatric Group at the University at Buffalo
created the Home Safety Self Assessment Tool, as a part of combined effort with the Community
Health Foundation of Western and Central New York to disseminate information regarding how to
prevent falls in Erie County, NY.
Use of this tool as instructed in this book helps to prevent future falls. An online version of this tool is available for download at www.agingresearch.buffalo.edu.
