N2  - <b>Objectives:</b> To evaluate whether a fall prevention intervention reduces fall risk in older adults who have previously fallen. <b>Design:</b> Randomized controlled pilot trial. <b>Setting:</b> Participants' homes. <b>Intervention:</b> LIVE-LiFE, adapted from Lifestyle-Intervention Functional Exercise (LiFE) integrates strength and balance training into daily habits in eight visits over 12 weeks. The adaptations to LiFE were to also provide (a) US$500 in home safety changes, (b) vision contrast screening and referral, and (c) medication recommendations. Control condition consisted of fall prevention materials and individualized fall risk summary. <b>Measurement:</b> Timed Up and Go (TUG) and Tandem stand. Falls efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability of the intervention. <b>Results:</b> Sample (<i>N</i> = 37) was 65% female, 65% White, and average 77 years. Compared with the control group, each outcome improved in the intervention. The LIVE-LiFE intervention had a large effect (1.1) for tandem stand, moderate (0.5) in falls efficacy, and small (0.1) in the TUG. <b>Conclusion:</b> Simultaneously addressing preventable fall risk factors is feasible.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
