Unfortunately falls happen at home
Every eleven seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall (CDC). About one-third of adults age 65 years or older fall each year, usually in the home. Falls often result in serious injuries that can lead to loss of independence and/or quality of life.
Now, the same technology that is used to protect the US Military is available to protect you from fall-related injuries at home. Viconic Fall Defense is a flooring underlay designed to dramatically absorb the impact from a fall. It can often be installed directly on top of your existing tile or hardwood. This reduces the time and cost of installation while preserving the beauty and value of the original flooring.
Viconic is compatible with hundreds of flexible flooring options giving you the freedom to select a flooring that suits your needs and taste. Once installed, it invisibly supports mobility, healthy aging, and independence for years.
