Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Study Type: Single-blind, two group randomized pilot trial. Randomization is 2:1 (27 intervention, 13 control). Participants have a chance of being in the LIVE-LiFE group or the control group.
Safe-LiFE Group: Individually tailored intervention at the participant's home spaced across 12 weeks including:
* Home safety assessment and risk reduction strategies; incorporating strength and balance training into daily habits vision screening and referral; and education about fear of falling and falls
* Home repairs, modifications, and low cost assistive devices to address unsafe home environments increasing fall risk
* Medication review and feedback concerning medications with increased fall risk
Control Group:
• An individualized fall risk assessment provided to participant and their primary care provider
Sample: 40 community-dwelling older adults in Baltimore City or County
