NCT ID NCT04132544

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. Researchers enrolled 952 seniors who were not hospitalized after their fall. 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.
