Falls are a huge risk for any senior. A seemingly small impact, can lead to massive health risks even when they are not immediately obvious.
WyzeCare care help seniors live independently with dignity, and it can let your loved ones and caregivers know that you might need help.
Don’t let a fall stop you from living at home. These tips can help you and your loved ones maintain mobility and independence.
Did you know that 1 in 5 older adults will suffer a fall that results in a fracture?
Falls are one of the most serious and most preventable health risks facing older adults today.
Unlike younger people, even a small stumble can lead to hip, knee, or ankle fractures in elders. And when those injuries happen, recovery can be long and life-changing.
The good news? There are simple things you can do before a fall happens.
If your loved one is starting to look a little unsteady:
• Consider seeing a physical therapist. They can create a personalized program to improve strength, balance, and stability.
• If they’re using a cane, it might be time to move to a walker. Walkers provide much better support and can dramatically reduce fall risk.
The key is not waiting until after a fall to take action.
A few small steps today can protect independence tomorrow.
