Summary
This study tested whether a special nurse visit after an older adult falls at home and calls emergency services could help them live longer and stay in their own home.

A nurse visited them to assess fall risks and create a personalized plan, which was then compared to standard care to see if it delayed moving to a nursing home or death.
