Abstract
Abstract Aims The purpose of the study was to show the effects of drug management, home arrangements, and exercise combined program on falling and quality of life in older adults.

Data were collected by self-report using a Sociodemographic Form, Domestic Environmental Risk Factors of Falling Form, Fall Risk Assessment Scale, SF-36 Quality of Life Scale, and Follow-up Form. Results The mean age of the participants was 69.1 ± 3.1 years, and were (F/M:37/4). After three and six months the domestic environmental risk factors of falling, fall numbers, risk and SF-36 quality of life subscales decreased significantly compared to baseline assessment (p<.05). Conclusions The multidisciplinary program reduced the number of falls, the risk of falling and improved quality of life.
