Falls are a major challenge in care homes, putting residents at risk and adding pressure on staff and healthcare services. They happen often, can cause serious injuries and affect confidence and quality of life. This makes strong prevention and quick response strategies essential.
People living in care homes are three times more likely to experience a fall than people living in the community.1
Tailored, multifactorial falls-prevention programmes delivered with care-home staff involvement have been shown to reduce the rate of falls by around 39%.2
Falls prevention technology is more than a smart investment — it’s a commitment to protecting dignity, independence, and wellbeing. Every fall has a human cost, and for care homes it brings avoidable pressure on staff, services, and reputation.
