Background: Falls at home among older people have been a significant problem for years. The purpose of this project was to identify older adults in the community aged 60 and over and at risk for a fall at home and link them to a home safety assessment and educational intervention to decrease their fall risk. Methods: A community-based intervention using a pre-post-test design was used for at risk patients being discharged age 60 and over from an urban medical center. An at home comprehensive safety assessment and educational information were provided to decrease their risk of falling at home. Results: Of the 49 people identified to participate in chart review Eight participants accepted. The results of this project determined that 100% of the participants who completed both the education and in-home assessment found these interventions to be useful in the prevention of falling at home and; 100% had remained fall free at time of posttest and; 66.7% of participants followed the recommendations that were made at the time of the in-home safety assessment. Discussion: Hospitals are an excellent place to identify one’s risk for falling at home and; providing hospitalized patients with education on fall prevention and assessment of their living space can decrease the current fall rate.
