Falls are something we all experience, at any age of life.

But most of them are preventable, according to Pamela Fuselli, President and CEO of Parachute Canada, an injury prevention charity.

Fuselli says that November is Fall Prevention Month and it’s important to draw awareness to it.

“Falls are not a part of normal aging. The majority of the falls are predictable and that means that we can actually prevent them. Unfortunately falls are a real and growing risk to older adult’s health, wellness and independence.”

A fall can cause injuries that may be life-changing and require a change to a person’s living arrangements, especially if modifications to their present home aren’t possible.
