Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This study aims to demonstrate that a group program on falls prevention and patient education will improve the acceptance and the implementation of recommendations on technical assistance and home modifications following discharge after an hospitalization for fall.
The secondary outcome will measure the impact of the group program on the incidence of falls, the number of readmissions, fear of another fall and improvement in walking and balance skills.
