Falls are the second leading cause of accidental death. The older adult population accounts for 75% of falls that result in accidental death. One-third of the older adults who experience a fall that results in a hip fracture will die within a year. Falls not only affect the quality of life of the individual but also influence the caregiver and family. Health care costs for falls and rehabilitation average billions every year! Even if the fall does not result in hospitalization, fear of falling becomes a major factor in how seniors live their daily lives. Fear of falling often leads to inactivity and loss of confidence. This, in turn, produces a cycle of fear, loss of self-confidence, and inactivity, thereby decreasing the quality of life and increasing the risk of falls.

To whom it may concern: It gives me great pleasure to tell you about a wonderful group called Senior Homecare by Angels. I learned about them from a dear friend when my Aunt needed round-the-clock care as she neared the end of her hundred-year life. As I live over 2000 miles away, it was such a comfort to know that she would not be alone at this time. The wonderful daily telephone update made me feel so much closer to the situation... I am forever grateful to have found this dedicated group of loving individuals who provide such a valuable and necessary service to their fellow human beings.
