The Average Cost For An Accidental Fall

The average cost of a treatment for an accidental fall is around $900 - $14,000, which includes medical costs and rehabilitation. 60% of the falls that occur in senior homes, mostly happen in the bathroom. Every 29 minutes, an older adult dies following a fall in the home. A fall can impact the quality of life. People who have fallen may be unable to live independently, and they may become fearful about falling yet again.
