Promoting Independence & Ageing in Place: Older Adults� Perceptions of a Community-Based Falls Prevention Programme

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The World Guidelines for Falls Prevention (Montero-Odassoet al 2022) recommend falls prevention exercise programmes for all community dwelling older adults. Early accessible preventative care reduces the need for reactive healthcare and promotes healthy ageing. Funding from HSE Health and Wellbeing supported the delivery of six 26-week evidence-based falls prevention programmes across three integrated care areas. The aim of this project was to evaluate older adults' perceptions of this pilot intervention.
