Key points from article :
Number of deaths in men over 85 has risen by 177%.
Greater increase than the number of people reaching that age.
Falls can lead directly to someone dying when they bang their head.
Or can happen later for example if they break their hip and do not recover.
Only intervention that consistently prevents falls is having a lot of staff in an area.
This level is far above the traditional ‘safe staffing level’.
One third less over-65s receiving local council-funded social care than in 2010.
