Home Care Solutions from Senior Home Care by Angels: Fall Prevention

Senior Home Care by Angels provides proactive home care solutions by educating seniors and families about fall-related risks and the effects of falls in the senior community

Falls are the second leading cause of accidental death. The older adult population accounts for seventy-five percent of falls that result in accidental death. One-third of the older adults who experience a fall that results in a hip fracture and are hospitalized 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.

From the most overlooked areas of the home to making it easier to navigate through one’s home, Senior Home Care by Angels can identify points of interest and vulnerability in everyday life and provide home care solutions.
