Why Fall Prevention Is Important For Your Senior
Every year, one in three seniors experience a severe fall, many resulting in a hospitalization. Falls for seniors tend to be much more severe because of their decreased strength, joint pain, limited range of motion, etc. Certain injuries, such as hip fractures, are especially dangerous for seniors. The time for recovery is up to a year and 25% of seniors do not ever fully recover from hip fracture injuries. 20% of seniors die within a year of hip fractures. 75% of serious falls occur in or outside the home. The best care option for fall-related injuries is to prevent them all together before they even happen.
