Stand Strong Falls Prevention Act

The Stand Strong Falls Prevention Act establishes an Advisory Committee on Falls Prevention within the Older Americans Act to coordinate federal efforts targeting falls among older adults. The committee will develop a national falls prevention plan, assess current federal programs (including Medicare and Medicaid initiatives), and recommend evidence-based interventions like home modifications and screening tools. It requires annual reports to Congress evaluating program effectiveness, progress on reducing falls-related injuries, and recommendations for expanding successful pilots. The bill directly affects federal agencies, Medicare beneficiaries, and older adults at risk of falls, focusing on concrete policy coordination rather than new funding or mandates.
