Older adults with dementia are a high-risk group for falls, with people living with dementia experiencing over twice the risk of falling than those without dementia. Cognitive ability is vital in aiding alertness, planning movements, and responding to falls hazards inside and outside of the home environment. An understanding and awareness of the risk factors for falls among older adults with dementia is essential to develop effective falls prevention strategies with clients.
