- Be Proactive on Safety
-
According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1 in 3 seniors fall every year, resulting in 90% of senior citizen hip fractures. Of these seniors who fall, and this is the scary part… 60% of them die from complications. With the elderly, It is important to recognize factors that contribute to falls. They include: change in eyesight, lack of strength or physical ailments, changes in medication or dosages, poor lighting, stairs, throw rugs, pets, small objects lying around the house, and other risk factors that add to the list. Be proactive in helping or seniors live a safe daily life!
