Each year, millions of seniors, aged 65 and over, suffer a preventable fall.
Aging seniors become progressively more frail and are at higher risk of breaking bones, and suffering serious injury from a fall.
That is why it is crucial to include fall prevention as a consideration for seniors who are left alone for any amount of time.
Many things can cause an elderly person to fall.
Their eyesight, hearing, and reflexes might not be as sharp as they were when they were younger.
Certain conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, or problems with their thyroid, nerves, feet, or blood vessels can affect their balance and can lead to a fall.
Those who suffer from Parkinson’s disease also tend to fall. This is due to postural instability. Postural instability refers to the inability to right oneself after being thrown off balance.
Companion caregivers can help provide support and guidance to assist seniors to walk, sit, and move about the house safely, preventing them from falling.
