Fall Prevention

An increasing number of older adults are living independently. Falls can have serious consequences for them. That is why it is important that older adults stay fit and continue to participate. Fall prevention is a key priority for the government. Since 2023, municipalities are required to offer fall prevention programmes for people aged 65 and over.

• Take the fall risk test here.

Working together: We collaborate with organisations and a local coordinator to improve fall prevention.

Early detection: We try to identify early which older adults are at risk of falling.

Targeted support: We offer more information and training on fall prevention.

We ensure that all older adults in Wassenaar can easily participate in the Fall Prevention programme.
Attention for vulnerable groups: We pay extra attention to older adults who do not visit the GP often or participate in activities.

We invite all residents, organisations and sports clubs to participate in the Fall Prevention programme in Wassenaar:
