What You Should Know About Falls Prevention Awareness Day

September 22, 2017 By Stephanie Miller

Home Care Services in Hillsboro OR: Falls Prevention Awareness Day

September 22 is Falls Prevention Awareness Day.

As a family caregiver, this is the ideal opportunity for you to learn more about falls and how they might impact your senior parent.  This can allow you to make meaningful modifications to your care efforts, as well as your parent’s home and daily routine, to help them to avoid falls and the potentially devastating consequences of such falls.

 

Some things that you should know about falls in the elderly include:

• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that approximately one out of every four seniors over the age of 64 in the United States suffers a fall each year

• This number accounts for 25 percent of the total elderly population

• Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and non-fatal injuries among senior adults throughout the United States

• Every 19 seconds a senior dies from injuries related to a fall

• More than 2.8 million elderly adults seek emergency medical attention in the emergency department due to falls each year

• Over 800,000 senior adults end up hospitalized due to falls

• More than 27,000 older adults die from falls each year

• The fear of falling can be just as detrimental to a senior’s quality of life as an actual fall, leading to reduced activity and diminished social engagement

• Approximately 25 percent of older adults who suffer a hip fracture will die within six months of that injury

• More than 50 percent of falls that result in death occur among older adults over the age of 74

• 10 percent of falls that occur in seniors over the age of 84, results in hip fractures

 

How can an elderly home care service provider help?

If you have been looking for a way to enhance your aging parent’s quality of life and ensure that they are getting the support, care, and assistance that they need as they age in place, starting elder care for them might be the ideal option.  An elderly home care services provider can be with your parent on a fully customized schedule to ensure that they have full access to what they need to remain healthy, happy, comfortable, and engaged throughout their later years.

When it comes to keeping them safe, the highly personalized services of an elderly home care services provider can be invaluable. From helping them to recognize and rectify challenges and obstacles in their home, to handling housekeeping tasks that might be challenging and difficult, to providing physical support and assistance, this care provider can help your parent stay active while also avoiding potential accidents and injuries.

    Testimonials

    Rebecca

    Thank you for sending Tina into my mother’s home. Tina was like a ray of sunshine entering a window that had been closed off for a very long time. Tina was extremely attentitive and caring while handling very demanding and challenging daily tasks. Her friendship and care for my mother during her final days was touching. Feel free to add me to your referral list.

    Joanne

    Thanks so much for helping us find the right care solution for my Mother. She loves living at the assisted living community and has made a couple of friends already. Your assistance and knowledge were greatly appreciated and it took a lot of stress off of our shoulders during a very difficult period for our family.

    Susan

    We wanted to thank you for sending a wonderful caregiver - Julie. She has been such a needed help to our father during his last year of life. Julie was always on time and always happy to do what was required to care for our beloved father when he needed it most. Thank you so much for all your support and help.

    Joan

    I wanted to thank you for all your great help and assistance this past 3 months during our mother’s surgery and recovery. She speaks so highly of the caregiver (Annette). Thank you for helping my Mom get back on her feet again. She looks great! All the best.

    Angela

    Thank you so much for your outstanding homecare services and support. The caregivers working with my Dad at home are always on time and very professional. Your attention to the daily details of our situation and quick response time to resolve issues as they have arisen has been outstanding. You have no idea how much stress you have relieved in our ayour service and continued support. I would recommend you to anyone.

    Stephanie

    Thank you for helping us find the right board and care facility for my Dad. He really likes the place and we can tell that he is starting to move out of his depression little by little. I can’t thank you enough for driving us around and helping us find the right place for him - I don’t know how we would have done it without you.
