Brenda was 82 years old when she went to see a geriatrician. She came to the appointment with her daughter, hoping to get well enough to leave Long-Term Care, where she was living now.

She had moved in after a series of falls that led to a few head injuries and broken bones, which both prevented her from living on her own any longer.

Her story is shared to explain the importance of fall prevention and other dementia prevention targets.
