Falls in the elderly come at a high cost, both to the NHS and to the health and confidence of the person who has fallen. Hospital-based trials in 2021 started to explore potential links between caffeine and falls associated with going to the toilet, given caffeine’s diuretic effect. In 2023, following positive trial outcomes, the project spread to social care, where a 35% reduction in falls associated with going to the toilet was seen when decaffeinated products were introduced as standard in eight care homes for the elderly. This article explores the Decaf Project and potential benefits of decaffeination in wider community settings, including for elderly people living in their own homes. It examines ways in which community nurses can support those in their care to understand potential benefits of decaffeination.
