Answer:

Nursing and residential care facilities

Step-by-step explanation:

The elderly that reside at nursing facilities sustain injuries at a higher rate than the general elderly population. A reason for this is the fact that the nursing home population is older overall, are more likely to be sick or more physically frail when compared to the general population of the elderly.
