Research shows that increased fear of falling is strongly correlated with higher actual fall risk, making it a critical target for prevention efforts (Scheffer et al., 2008.)

Only 5% of participants reported any fear of falling six months post-installation, as measured by the Fall Efficacy Scale.

Among patients with congestive heart failure, nearly 50% are readmitted to the hospital within six months following discharge. (Chamberlain et al, 2018). 33% of our grantees reported being hospitalized within the 6 months prior to our program.

At six months post-installation only 8% reported a visit to the hospital or urgent care, all of which due only to acute illnesses like the flu rather than exacerbations of chronic illness.

Quality of life is a powerful predictor of health outcomes—lower health-related quality of life scores are associated with significantly higher risks of hospitalization and death among older adults. (Brown, DS et. al., 2015)

67% of our participants reported increased quality of life after receiving adaptive equipment and services, reflecting meaningful improvements across physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains of quality of life.
