Summary

This study looked at seniors aged 65+ who called emergency services (SAMU) after a fall at home but were not hospitalized. Researchers tested whether a personalized fall risk assessment and follow-up care could delay death or the need for nursing home admission. About 952 participants were followed for up to 24 months. The goal was to see if this approach helps seniors stay independent longer.
