“We considered all kinds of fall management tech and felt like the flooring underlay was a better ROI. It’s a long-term investment for us.”

— Lucy Boxrud, President

Falls remain a major challenge in senior care

The statistics are daunting. 50%-75% of nursing home residents alone fall each year. And the problem is projected to get worse. By 2030, there will be 72 million older adults experiencing a combined 52 million falls every year-at a cost of $101 billion per year.

Falls have dire consequences for residents… and for providers

Once a resident falls, there is a 90% chance they will continue to fall, leading to hospitalization, decline in function, even death. Care providers face risk of litigation, penalties, reputation damage, and resident attrition.

Falls have dire consequences for residents… and for providers

Viconic Fall Defense supports senior care providers in reducing the risk of fall-related injuries. The scientifically-backed system is a layer of protection underneath the floorcovering that invisibly protects residents and minimizes the negative outcomes from a fall-promoting mobility, healthy aging, and independence.

Fall Protection… under your feet

One fall injury can significantly impact the quality of life for a resident and a provider’s reputation. Get increased protection from falls and preserve your residents’ quality of life.

A significant fall often results in an emergency room visit and hospital stay. Keep your resident safe with you and preserve your relationship with hospitals as a trusted referral partner.

Injuries from resident falls increase operational, staffing, litigation, and external costs. Contain those costs by reducing risk of fall-related injuries.

When a resident falls and suffers an injury, the risk of being sued is real. Reducing risk of fall-related injuries mitigates litigation and liability risks, giving you greater control of your reputation and overall operations.

Person-centered care is the goal of most senior care communities and is sought by referral sources and prospective residents. Reducing the risk of injury makes person-centered care easier to achieve.

Your staff walk and stand on the floor for hours each day and need a flooring solution that is comfortable. Viconic Fall Defense provides the comfort to support your ergonomics strategy.

Lessen the impact of noise between floors and between resident rooms, potentially offsetting acoustic costs elsewhere in construction projects.

A problematic flooring installation can increase costs and impede operations. Installing Viconic Fall Defense is simple and straightforward, avoiding any unanticipated glitches.

Selecting Viconic Fall Defense gives you the freedom to work with your preferred flooring manufacturer-or use one recommended by Viconic. The installation process is simple and can be readily handled by your own installer or facilities team.
