Innovative Technology to Prevent Falls
Empowering Older Adults to Age in Place
We are not just promoting awareness or
detecting falls after they occur.
We are PREVENTING FALLS – at scale.
1 in 4 older Americans falls every year
Most falls occur in their own homes, and the most serious falls occur in bathrooms
Falls are costly and disruptive
An average falls-related injury can cost 60 times the price of a grab bar installation
There is evidence that grab bars reduce falls
The challenge is installing them reliably at scale
SafeMount enables an experienced handyperson or contractor to install grab bars correctly
