Falls Prevention Program
WE’RE HERE TO PROVIDE THE CARE YOU NEED
Falls Prevention Program
Have you fallen before? What medications are you taking? Do you sometimes feel disoriented or confused? Falls are the single largest cause of death and injuries in older Americans. Around 33% of the elderly fall at least once per year, and these falls result in over 2 million visits to the Emergency Room.
Falls are also the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries in older adults, and may also cause other types of serious injuries, such as fractures of the hip, that can have extremely negative impacts on quality of life. The key is to have a plan to stay safe at home and avoid the fall.

Why does this happen? As our parents and loved one age, balance becomes an issue due to a variety of factors, including physical weakness, medications and cognitive or visual impairment. Ideally, the best source of comfort during these times is your own home, but, your home can become hazardous without a fall prevention and safety strategy in place. Talk to one of our highly skilled in-home Caregivers to implement the right strategy to keep your loved one safe at home and out of the hospital as a result of a fall.
