Your loved one may be entering this time in life where key decisions need to be made. As our loved one’s age, they understandably want to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes.
However, this desire can become a double-edged sword, as the very place they wish to spend their twilight years can become a hazardous obstacle course, posing a significant threat to their health and wellbeing. 90% of ER visits are due to Falls for those over 65. To prolong time living independently at home, it is crucial that we understand and address the leading cause of harm to older adults: FALLING at HOME.
