Hospital stays are shorter, which means more recovery is happening at home. Without planning for that handoff, healing can slip off track. The future of care begins at home.
Falls are often treated as medical events, but many root causes are environmental. As costs rise and aging shifts homeward, prevention starts with rethinking how we design daily life.
