Fall risk in residential care has multiple contributors. This directory organizes technology by possible care activity rather than suggesting that one device can prevent falls.
Product Types
- Anti-Slip Footwear

Key issues to consider

Documentation and provenance
Historical categories and the six product-type names were taken from the Technology for Long-Term Care wireframe. A U.S. Department of Health and Human Services research report independently documents the original technology clearinghouse and its core care issues. These are reference sources; original product records, prices, manufacturer comparisons, and user reviews have not been recovered.
