Falls prevention and management for older adults in home care services in Norway: a retrospective patient record review
The results highlight substantial gaps in the comprehensive management of fall prevention where considerably fewer patients received follow-up interventions to prevent falls compared to those who had fall risk factors identified. These results underscore the urgent need for enhanced implementation of fall prevention care within municipal home care services.
