News From Ottawa Public Health Resources to Help Prevent Falls in Older Adults The “You CAN Prevent Falls!” fact sheet can help older adults stay independent and safe. It includes information about how to identify hazards around the home, how to reduce personal risk, and has an action plan to make changes. The “Staying Independent Checklist” is a self-screening tool for older adults to find out if they are at risk for falling. Older adults are encouraged to complete the checklist and to follow-up with their healthcare provider as needed. DID YOU KNOW? In Ottawa, falls are the leading cause of injury related emergency room visits and hospitalization. Every year, approximately one fifth of adults 65 years or older who live in private homes fall, contributing over 8,000 visits to emergency departments, 2000 hospitalizations and 90 deaths. To get copies of the fact sheet and checklist: Call Ottawa Public Health at 613-580-6744 (TTY: 613-580-9656) or visit www.ottawa.ca/seniors 4 4 Making Your Internet Access More Affordable OCH has been discussing with various internet providers to make your access to the internet more affordable.
