The Case for Medicare to Cover Home Safety Renovations

Published by USC Bedrosian Center on

Falling is the number one cause of injury and the seventh leading cause of death in adults ages 65 and older.

In “Breaking Down Silos to Improve the Health of Older Adults,” Richard Green, Patricia Harris, and Anthony Orlando make the case for Medicare coverage of home safety renovations to minimize injuries (and death) due to falls.

Olivia Olson speaks with Richard Green, Patricia F. Harris, and Anthony W. Orlando about their recent paper and the changes they hope to see in Medicare coverage.
