Falls Free CheckUp

We know that preventing falls is possible, and we want to empower older adults to take action and reduce their risk of falling. 

Advocate for Falls Prevention Funding

Falls are the leading cause of injuries among older adults and cost the nation $50 billion per year. Members of Congress need to hear from you—their constituents—on this important issue. Use NCOA's advocacy tool to ensure Older Americans Act (OAA) funding continues to meet the needs of older adults, their families, and their communities.
