What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to create an Office of Falls Prevention to help reduce falls among veterans by improving health care services, running a national education campaign for veterans and their families, and raising awareness about available VA benefits related to fall prevention. It also adds the VA to a government committee focused on healthy aging, requires updated safety policies for VA facilities, and directs the VA to look into a program that would make home improvements to help prevent falls for eligible veterans. The bill also makes sure certain veterans get a falls risk assessment from a licensed physical therapist or occupational therapist.
