This ongoing concern affects the carers’ wellbeing, perception of burden and can potentially change care arrangements. Previous research has focused on carers of high fall risk older persons with stroke, dementia or Parkinson’s disease. However, little is known about the carers’ concerns for carees at risk of falling generally; and there is no validated instrument to measure this concern. This study aims to explore carers’ fall concern about carees at risk of falling and the development of an instrument to measure this concern.
