Prevention is key in helping seniors stay in their homes longer also known as "aging in place" and part of that prevention is preventing falls as much as possible. Seniors are at higher risk for in-home injuries as their balance, vision, and flexibility reduce with age. Helping seniors remain in their homes is important to me but more importantly is making sure they are home SAFELY.
As I tell my patients all the time....It only takes one fall to change your entire life and home dynamics. Let's work together to prevent that the best we can today. |
