FACTS ON FALLS
Falls, and the need for immediate help after a fall, are the most urgent safety risk facing seniors today. Here are some facts:
- Of the 35 million Americans over 65, one in three will fall this year. That is between 10 and 17 million falls.
- Ultimately, falls will disable or kill 1 in 3 seniors.
- This will result in a critical threat to seniors and added stress on our already overworked healthcare system.
- 40% of nursing home admissions involve a previous injurious fall.
- Falls are the leading cause of accidental death.
At New England Emergency Response Systems, we are dedicated to keeping our seniors safe at home - with special emphasis on fall prevention. An emergency response system can help address the risk of falls by providing a rapid response time to save lives and reduce hospitalizations.
