The National Council on Aging this week published its 2025 National Falls Prevention Action Plan, a report that offers strategies home care providers can use to protect their clients from injury. NCOA’s action plan has six goals: boosting awareness, expanding funding, promoting clinical interventions, enhancing care coordination, upgrading technological capabilities and improving data collection for fall prevention activities. While the action plan aims to inform policymakers about ways to protect older adults from falls, it also includes actionable strategies home care providers can employ to keep their clients safe.
