National Falls Prevention
Awareness Day is an initiative of the Falls Free Coalition, of
which AFA is a member, and is observed on the first day of fall
each year to increase public awareness about how to prevent and
reduce falls among older adults.
In line with this objective, AFA's
"Preventing Falls" DVD provides insight into why dementia
intensifies the incidence of falls and offers practical strategies
from experts and family caregivers, including communication
techniques, home modifications and lifestyle changes. It was funded
in part with a grant from Novartis
Pharmaceuticals.
For a free copy, call AFA at
