Facts and figures fall accidents<\/h3>\n

Every year, 190,000 nursing home residents fall. Of these, 72,000 sustain serious injuries. The direct medical costs in nursing homes due to these falls amount to 220 million euros annually, 180 million of which are borne by the Long-Term Care Act (Wlz). The infographic clearly depicts: how often fall accidents occur, the impact on care demand and medical costs, and trends and developments.
