At SafelyYou, we’re committed to fall prevention, that’s why we support our customers with fall huddles and root cause analysis, helping to prevent future falls. Today, we’re helping to raise awareness of fall prevention through our Preventing Falls this Fall & Beyond campaign and every day, we continue this work, sharing essential information through our Fall Huddle Hub, available on our newly relaunched website.

It’s Falls Prevention Awareness Week, today through Friday, September 24! To kick it off, we’re sharing our experts’ top 10 tips for fall prevention. Only SafelyYou has reviewed over 20k fall events, making us uniquely qualified to share insights that help prevent falls.

Our SafelyYou experts have found that 38% of unintentional falls are related to the bed and 80% of intentional self-lowering occurs at the bedside. That means there are opportunities to improve safety and function when it comes to beds.
