For seniors living at home independently, there may be no greater risk than falls.

How Falls Impact Seniors

Did you know that 75% of dangerous falls occur around the home, with one in every three seniors experiencing a serious fall each year? 

The impact of falls for seniors is both physical and mental. Head injuries and bone fractures are painful, and recovery can be long and difficult. The mental impact remains long after the body heals, with many seniors changing their routines and habits out of fear of falling again. 

While the statistics are unsettling, the good news is most falls in the home can be prevented with in home care. At Visiting Angels of Morris and Somerset County, our services give seniors the support they need to remain independent and avoid falls.
