Falls are common in older adults and many studies have been conducted to determine the interventions associated with the greatest reduction in the incidence of falls in community dwelling and nursing facility residents. Falls in older adults often result in costly injuries and loss of independence and function. Centra PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly) has 3 centers in central Virginia. The Gretna center opened in 2016 and serves participants in their homes and nursing facilities.
