Williston, VT -- (SBWire) -- 02/01/2019 --For most seniors, a fall can cause injury not only to the body, but to the mind as well.

In 2016, 35% of Vermont adults age 65 and older experienced a fall; one in three of these individuals sustain injury as a direct result of their accident. With winter weather in full swing, bring icy driveways and sidewalks, the risk of falling is even higher for Vermont residents.
