abstract="A Matter of Balance/Volunteer Lay Leader model is an evidence-based program to change behavior to adopt falls prevention strategies. The purpose was to translate this program to assisted living communities. A single-arm intervention study was designed to assess for falls-related and physical performance measures. Forty-one residents, with a mean age of 87 years, were eligible for participation. The Falls Management Scale (P = .02) and the Physical Component Summary Score (P = .01) significantly improved from baseline to 8 weeks. Gait speed (P = .059) was borderline significant from baseline to 6 months. We showed evidence for successful translation within the assisted living communities sampled.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
