According to the CDC, falls are the leading cause of severe injury and death for seniors over the age of 65. Environmental factors, illnesses, and medications all play a large role in this. Once a single fall occurs, data suggests that there is a 75% likelihood another fall will happen within 6 months.
At Assisting Hands Home Care, we take this information very seriously, and do what we can to lower the odds of seniors falling through our fall prevention services in Park Ridge, Niles, Norridge, IL and the surrounding areas.
