🩺 The High Cost of Falls: A Public Health Concern
💰 Total Cost of Falls in the U.S.
• Over $50 billion annually is spent on medical treatment for slip and fall injuries across the United States.
• These costs include emergency care, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
🚿 Falls in the Bathroom: A Hidden Hazard
• The bathroom is one of the most dangerous areas in the home for falls.
• According to a 2008 CDC study:
• More than 230,000 people aged 15 and older were treated in emergency rooms for bathroom-related injuries.
• Nearly 80% of these incidents occurred in the bathtub or shower.

and injuries on wet surfaces—one of the leading causes of emergency
room visits and hospitalizations.

safety without needing help in a moment of vulnerability.
